Suffering three to four consecutive losses to the
Real Madrid soccer team
It was a piece of cake! Back at home, we had the chance to come back with a two-goal margin, or equalize the aggregate score and go into extra time. After the game, Benzema, who scored twice, tweeted, "The game is just kicking off and we are
Real Madrid soccer team
!" Vow to make a comeback in the second round.
Benzema's statement went unchallenged! Since the knockout stages of the Champions League, apart from the first leg of the round of 16 against Grand Paris, which was a granular 0-1 defeat, the
Real Madrid soccer team
In the remaining four matches, Benzema scored in all of them. A hat-trick against Grand Paris in the second leg and a goal against
Chelsea
The same hat-trick in the first round and a goal in the second round, this game against
Manchester City
May has scored twice and has amassed nine goals in five games in the knockout rounds.
So far, Benzema has scored 14 goals in the Champions League, 5 in the group stage and 9 in the knockout stage, surpassing Levin by 1 goal and leading the Champions League scorer list. While Levin has been out early, Salah's 8 goals can not pose a threat, Benzema is expected to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season.
For Benzema, the Golden Boot may no longer be the goal. The real challenge for him is the Champions League title. If he wins the Champions League this season, Benzema's Golden Boot is almost a nail in the coffin - the La Liga title, after all, is already within reach for him.
