5 talking points from Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Leganes

#3 Karim Benzema nets another brace

Benzema scores his 4th goal in two games.

Karim Benzema didn’t have a league season to remember in 2017-18 as he scored only 5 goals in 32 appearances. Zinedine Zidane was frequently questioned about Benzema’s place in the first team in last season. However, it looks like the Frenchman is ready to turn his form around and looks set to prove his worth of being a first choice striker of Real Madrid.

Benzema has scored 5 goals in 4 appearances this season out of which 4 goals came in La Liga. For the second match running, the Madrid number 9 has scored a brace and is the current top scorer of La Liga ahead of Gareth Bale who sits on the second spot having 3 goals and an assist to his name.

With Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale looking in their best of forms, it seems like Real Madrid have found ways to cope up with Ronaldo’s absence.
