Karim Benzema is Real Madrid’s Best Player of 2019

DBasia.news –  Spanish newspaper Marca, assessed that Madrid’s ferocious appearance cannot be separated from the role of striker, Karim Benzema. The reason is, throughout 2019, Benzema is in his best performance.

Not only that, Benzema became the only player in 117 years of the club’s history to score in eight consecutive matches.

“What has changed is the number of goals. I am confident and the help of my teammates is the key. I want to win the league title,” Benzema said some time ago.

Benzema has scored 16 goals in all competitions so far in the 2019/2020 season, with 12 of his goals coming in the Spanish La Liga competition.
