He had to be the best offensive player in the Real Madrid, who saved a ship that stayed two minutes after sinking this afternoon on the field of the Metropolitan Stadium, where those led by Zinedine Zidane save a 1-1 draw at the last minute against Atlético de Madrid in the capital derby
Karim Benzema, who had missed the past three weeks due to injury, was in charge save a point from the Colchoneros house, who did not know how to end the game and paid dearly for the lack of power in front of the Thibaut Courtois, which, together with the French, was the best that the white box presented.
And I would like to add that Benzema’s goal seems to me to be an absolute genius: the drive, the pass, the triangulation and the shot. An absolute miracle ????pic.twitter.com/ETjEuBMrex
