Real Madrid 2-0 Getafe Already has 16 this season
Yand again, Karim Benzema was key when opening a game for Real Madrid as they beat Getafe 2-0 on Tuesday evening.
The number 9 rose home in the opener just when things were looking a little complicated for the champions, and he still dreams of being crowned Pichichi this season, even with stiff competition from Luis Suarez.
“It was a good goal”, Benzema said afterwards about his header. “It was a good ball from Vinicius [Junior] and it went in. “
Benzema now has 11 goals this season at LaLiga Santander, behind Suarez’s 16, Lionel Messi and Youssef En-Nesyri’s 13 and Gerard Moreno’s 12.
The 2020/21 campaign so far is just the last to impress the No. 9. Since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus, he has contributed with significantly more goals – 73 in total.
Penalties could allow him to get closer to Suarez’s total in Sergio Ramos’ absence.
