Karim Benzema has silenced his critics this season. He can boast of 11 league and 4 Champions League goals this season. When Ronaldo left, fans expected Gareth Bale to be in charge of goal scoring. But it has been Karim Benzema who has been the best in front of the goal and is having one of the best seasons of his career yet. He would surely be one of the highest goal scorers in Europe if he had been taking penalties for the team.

As the striker himself explained in a recent interview, he has now become a lethal goal scorer as he no more has to help Cristiano Ronaldo. He has become more of a number 9 than he was before. Fans are loving the selfish Benzema. Even when Madrid's attack has been so poor throughout the season, Benzema has been consistent and has maintained his position in the starting eleven.
