Benzema's performance last season really stole the attention because it was thanks to the goals he always created that always made Madrid even rise from falling behind in the Champions League like when they faced PSG and City in the knockout phase.
This is clearly something that is very good for Benzema because it can be said that even though he is not young anymore, his contribution last season was really extraordinary, even if it could be said that the only thing that could hold Benzema back last season was only an injury that bothered him a bit. it doesn't exist anymore so it's a fair tribute to Benzema.
It is a perfect example of how age is just a number that 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema just gets better with age. The contribution Benzema made last season led to Madrid winning the Champions League, like he never gave up. As a result of Ronaldo's departure, Benzema proved to be the right successor for Real Madrid. It was a time when he applauded for Ronaldo, but now it's his turn. Real Madrid's best player at the moment is Benzema.
For some players everything is possible and indeed only a handful of people can do this and Benzema is one of them now.
Age is just a number really happened but most likely this only happened once for him. Even though this season there are still the same opportunities but seeing the condition of some of the current young players who are quite good I seem a little doubtful that Benzema can do this again.
It seems that Benzema will perform well this season as well. Among the young players, the performance of none other than Haaland seems satisfactory. If Benzema can continue his performance as consistently as last season and if Real Madrid is able to win the La Liga and Champions League titles again, Benzema may be able to win the Ballon d'Or again. We are not getting satisfactory performances from players like Lelandowski and Messi.
