Trust me if Benzema does not perform, Real Madrid is going to have a lot of problems against Liverpool. I am not saying that they will not have any chance, but I honestly believe that Benzema is a big reason why Real Madrid is in the finals of the Champions League. But to be honest I want Real Madrid to win the Champions League final just because I want to see Benzema lift the Champions League Trophy.
Benzema is a player who is so important to Real Madrid's success this season in La Liga or the Champions League. Without Benzema I don't think Real Madrid will reach the final although I admit that Real Madrid is not just Benzema.
Benzema's have big contribution this season for Real Madrid is expected to benefit them in the final. He is quite capable of scoring goals and maybe he will win match and the Champions League title this season. But whatever the expectations, then Liverpool are the team that will probably get Real Madrid in big trouble in this season's final.
You are right. Every Real Madrid player is very talented. Young Vinicius, Rodrygo and Madrich are all great players. But even so, Real Madrid's match strategy is entirely Benzema-centric. I would not say that Real Madrid will not win if Benzema does not play well. However, if Benzema does not play well, it will be very difficult to beat a strong opponent like Liverpool. It's almost impossible. Because the Liverpool team is very experienced and well organized.
