At the turn of the season, it is customary for the French Federation of Professional Footballers to unveil the crown of the season's best foreign player. Recently, the top five candidates of the season were announced, namely Lowry, Kante, Benzema, Mendy and Dembele. Now, the final winner has emerged - Benzema.
This season, Benzema has been amazing. As of this moment, he has played 45 games for Real Madrid and contributed 29 goals. This figure is enough to put him at the top of Real Madrid's career goalscoring list. Looking back at the 11/12 season, Benzema set a new career high with 32 goals, while in the 18/19 season, he also scored 30 goals.
Starting next Monday, at 00:00 GMT, Benzema will have his season finale. In the last match of the La Liga, Real Madrid will face Villarreal at home. For Real Madrid, the only way to keep their hopes of winning the league is to win. Benzema, as the team's frontline center, will need to do his best to help the team sprint to the championship.
If Real Madrid ultimately loses its title charge, Benzema's team achievements this season will be reduced to nothing. In the Champions League, Real Madrid stopped in the semi-finals; the King's Cup was eliminated by the third-tier team in the first round; and in the semi-finals of the Western Super Cup, it was defeated by Barcelona 1-2. The La Liga title is the only hope for Real Madrid this season.
