#1 Bale-Benzema duo is a serious threat

The departure of Ronaldo sent shockwaves across Europe. The fans were worried, as there was no one to replace their talisman, with Benzema misfiring for a few seasons now and Bale being very much injury-prone.

However, the Bale-Benzema duo successfully turned the tables, as they look more confident than ever to carry Real Madrid's attacking unit. And along with Isco, they can break the best of bests defences, with ease.

Bale looks determined to stay fit and Benzema seems to be gaining confidence with every matchday. Mariano and Asensio on the bench will provide constant competition to the first team players, and this would help Bale and Benzema to stay on top of their level for a longer period of time.
