Can certainly see more goals coming. City should have been 4 up, imagine Mahrez will get a bollocking in the dressing room.

Ref deserves an assist for that goal. Put his whistle to his lips and walked over to where the "foul" took place. No wonder half the Madrid team stopped.

Benzema seems to be improving with age, similar to Ibrahimovic. Not so long ago people were saying he wasn't a consistent goalscorer. Perhaps he was just in Ronaldo's shadow and forced to assist him rather than lead the line himself. His previous best for goals in a season (all comps) was 32, he's now on 41!

I think he has always been an unbelievable player. However, for a significant amount of his career he just so happened to play with one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game. So, of course Ronaldo would have been the key man in scoring goals in that time, and taking penalties and free kicks.

I think it is now simply a case that, now Ronaldo has left and Madrid have looked to find a way to play without him, Benzema has now become the key man. I don't think he is any better, I just think he is now in a position in the team he can now shine. I don't watch any of the Spanish league, but would be interesting to know how many of his goals are penalties (or even free kicks), as he'd not have been able to add those to his tally when Ronaldo was at the club anyway.

Benzema has always been class, he's just benefitting from Real dropping down a level or two. They've got very little else upfront without him and he's benefited from that. La Liga is such a sad state of affairs this season, Real have had no rivals. Barca were in crisis for half of the season and have turned a corner and whacked Real 4-0 at home. They've been incredibly lucky in the CL so far too. City will take them apart next week IMO.
But you've got to give huge credit to Benzema, he's done it when it counts and will make France a much better side in the World Cup now his ban has ended.
