2017 saw Barcelona star Lionel Messi score as many goals at the Bernabeu as Real Madrid's first choice striker Karim Benzema, further proof if it were needed of just how poor the Frenchman has been in front of goal of late.
Karim Benzema left the field to a chorus of boos during the weekend's El Clasico, with the Real faithful not holding back in their assessment of the player.
Lionel Messi scored Barcelona's second goal of the game in the 3-0 win, taking his tally of league goals at the Bernabeu in 2017 to three... the same amount as Benzema.
The Argentine was Barca's hero in last season's Clasico at the Bernabeu, with two-goal salvo, including a last-minute winner, helping his side to leave the home of their arch-rivals in top spot. It was an unforgettable goal, whilst the celebration wasn't bad either.
Benzema meanwhile, only managed to find the net at home against Granada and Alves in the first half of 2017 and has just a single goal against Malaga to his name on home turf this season.
These figures have seen the former Lyon man return to the spotlight once again for all the wrong reasons. A number of strikers have already been linked with summer moves to Real, though Zinedine Zidane remains a huge fan of his compatriot and is reluctant to throw him on the footballing scrapheap quite yet.
