5 attackers who have started the new LaLiga campaign explosively

#2 Karim Benzema

Real Madrid CF v Getafe CF - La Liga — The Frenchman has scored in all of his LaLiga matches so far this term

It seems Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema is on a mission to revive his career this term. The French striker failed to reach his peak in each of the past few seasons, prompting many to criticise his performances and position in the Spanish capital.

It is only a few matches into the new LaLiga campaign, and the 30-year-old has buried all talks of a gradual decline in his career. Benzema, realizing that he has to take on more goal-scoring responsibilities following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, has decided to up his game, and he has really impressed in front of goal so far.

The Frenchman has scored 4 times in just 3 LaLiga appearances this term, placing himself among the elite goalscorers in the Spanish top flight at the moment, as well as helping Los Blancos earn a brilliant start to the campaign.
