He has stepped up. Not filled. But stepped up
ESPN FC’s Stewart Robson- Zidane won’t last a couple of months in Real Madrid
U can't put Benzene in RONALDO is shoes. Come one. No one can at real madrid
Lol I can’t remember the last time benzema scored 50 goals in a single season let alone every season for however long CR7 kept it up
That goal was a string of magnificent passes.💯
I’m not saying Benzema is bad yes he’s one of the most underrated players of this past decade but saying he’s filled Ronaldo’s boots is kinda disrespectful to Ronaldo
Lol. Barca is in shambles and old and messi is finally declining a bit. Madrid hadn't won la liga or a champions league. So to claim Benzema has replaced Ronaldo in any way is ridiculous. This is without bringing statistics into the convo.
You don’t fill the shoes of the GOAT
No he hasn't lol Benzema and Madrid are having a great season, but his numbers are not even in the same realm as Ronaldo's during his time at Madrid.
Ronaldo: makes a back heal assist
ESPN:…
Benzema: makes a back heal assist
ESPN: OMG WHAT THATS AWESOME
zidane's sub were not good enough, Hazard was not there today.
Not even close to Ronaldo’s stature
Benzema v Lewondoski
Benzema is underrated but you can't fill the shoes of someone who scores 40+goals in all competitions year in year out
If Madrid won the champions league
Ale: they wErENt SExY To wATCH
Just stop criticizing teams if they win give them credit for f*cks sake
If this was a barca game and it finished 1-0 like this the title would of been about antoine griezmann not being able to fit in the squad or something. with him on the thumbnail. The fact is media nowadays are just bias but what do I know
I remember cr7 fans stating Real wouldn’t survive without him….where are they now?
It is currently cr7 who needs a world class team to provide him trophies..
He's been the savior of the last 2 seasons for Real Madrid and now he gets praise
Benzema is one of the most underrated players in football
he certainly has, benzema is one of the best strikers in the world right now
