Benzema did an amazing work for Real Madrid in the previous season as you know. He had a huge role in taking that title by eliminating very strong opponents in the Champions League. But I'm having my doubts about him to have the same level of performance again now. At least he can have a big difficulty in competing with Haaland about scoring goals. Because Haaland is like nearly two times better than Benzema about the number of goals scored this season.
Haaland is running to a record in the English Premier League as well. I don't see often that some defenders are able to stop Haaland from being effective. He is very impressive in every way and he is proving this many times by scoring every kind of goals.

Benzema is much more experienced maybe but he already had his most impressive season of his career in the previous season. Manchester City can be more advantageous in this matchup as a result in my opinion.
