#1 Karim Benzema is undoubtedly Real Madrid's best player right now
Karim Benzema is undoubtedly Real Madrid's best player right now. The Frenchman broke the deadlock when he headed in a delicious ball from Dani Carvajal in the 25th minute of the game after losing his marker.
Benzema scored again in the 31st minute to double Real's lead after James Rodriguez perfectly set him up. Los Blancos number 9 looked threatening from the starting whistle as he forced a wonderful save from Aitor after a great passage of play from James and Marcelo.
The 31-year-old was omnipresent as he was dropping in deep to create play, press the Levante defense and force some errors. Benzema was vital in the sequence that saw Vinicius Jr. set up Casemiro for Real's third.
The Frenchman along with Eden Hazard could be a treat to watch and they gave glimpses of the same in the 20 minutes that they played together.
