Benzema is left alone again

Another of the problems that Madrid is experiencing in its first crisis of results of the season is that Benzema is once again left alone in attack. He has 10 goals in 10 games, only he has scored in the last three games and he still does not have the company of more partners up front to pull the goal car.

Karim is once again light years ahead of his fellow attackers. He is having a spectacular start to the season and is again the great offensive reference ... and almost the only one. In the League, to the nine goals scored in eight games, we must add the seven assists he has given, which makes him the protagonist of 16 of the 22 goals scored by Real Madrid in the domestic championship. In the Champions League he has scored one of the team's two goals in two games. In total, 10 goals in 10 games.

After the Frenchman, Vinicius, who began as his great partner in attack, begins to move away from Karim's figures with his five goals, two assists and two penalties caused (one in the League and one in the Champions League). Madrid's fashion couple have only had no direct influence on four of the 24 goals the team has scored. The other 18 bear his signature in the form of a goal, assist or provoked penalty, but the balance is already beginning to lean much more on Benzema's side.

And starting from Vinicius, almost the absolute nothing when it comes to the other strikers. Hazard still hasn't made the leap in quality that is expected, Jovic hasn't scored so far this season despite the fact that he has already played six games and Rodrygo has lost his revulsive effect. Asensio left a triplet against Mallorca that has not had continuity and Mariano does not count for Ancelotti.

Karim, at your own pace

Waiting for partners, Benzema goes further in his killer figures. Last League, Karim did not reach 9 goals in the League until January 23, after 19 days played by Madrid. Now he has reached that scoring figure in less than half of the days, specifically in eight. He has scored in five of the eight league games played and only did not attend his appointment with the goal against Levante, Betis and Villarreal.

Benzema has already scored 289 goals as a madridista after yesterday's and is one goal behind Santillana (290) to be the fourth highest scorer in Real Madrid's history.
