Benzema is struggling for fitness and that's affecting the whole team performance. He's one ofthebest striker in the world and he has Given his best to Madrid, but it's high time Carlo Ancelotti look for his replacement in the attacking line, Benzema is aging and he can't be Madrid only striker. They have to sort out for a good young striker if they will win anything trophy this season.
Because Barcelona are already the title favourite with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid.
We know that Benzema is considered a star player for Real Madrid, and whenever he is going to miss a game, it becomes a huge concern for Ancelotti and Real Madrid. We shouldn't forget easily how badly they performed last season without him. Nevertheless, I wouldn't say he is irreplaceable. This is because they now have so many talented players that are growing, and we can, to an extent, say that anyone of them can score now with or without him.
Benzema is a very important star player, but now it can be said that the peak of his career is coming to an end. Now he will accept that it is time to leave his position to the young players. Young and promising Endrick will join the Real Madrid squad in a few years. Apart from that, Mbappe needs to be in the Real Squad. If they sign Haaland as well, they will be ahead as the best team in the world. Real Madrid can go back to its glory days in a few years.
I think becoming the best in the world once was a big dream for Benzema that has come true. I also think he knows that he won't be able to repeat what he did during that season. That is just not realistic.
I don't know what Madrid's plans are right now and whether they are still trying to get Mbappe as well or whether that plan is fully put on ice? Anyone knows anything?
The loss against Mallorca surely was a painful one and it was a loss with very bad timing. It turned Barcelona's win into a 6 point game, which makes it even worse.
Xavi just said that Barcelona isn't the favorite for the La Liga title, but in all seriousness I think that is bs. Barcelona is definitely the favorite now.
