Benzema and his form will threaten Ronaldo

The comparisons are shocking. Especially if you intend to put someone on a par with Cristiano in terms of goal scoring. But currently, Benzema's numbers do not deceive and, at the very least, brings him closer to the path of the Portuguese.

The Frenchman has scored 14 goals in his last 14 official games with Real Madrid. This is an average of one goal per game, a brilliant record ... and not so far away from what CR7 recorded in Madrid.

The Portuguese star scored 450 goals in his 438 appearances with the Madrid team. That is, the Portuguese scored on average 1.02 goals per game. Or what is the same, only two tenths above the French.

Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Juventus seemed to free Benzema. They both admitted that they felt comfortable playing together, but the former Lyon player had to always adapt to Ronaldo's style, which so many people did not like.

This season, the number '9' has already scored 4 goals in four games. Karim is full of confidence, although it is also worth noting that luck is on his side, something that has not happened so much in the past.

Now, and as the wise popular proverb would say, the difficult thing is not to reach the top, but to stay there. And that is where the enormous merit of Cristiano falls (or Messi, a very similar case), since his records correspond to over nine seasons.

Benzema finished last year with ten goals between the 27th and 33rd week. And this league start has followed that line, an indispensable condition to be able to maintain the demanding pace that led CR7 to be one of the greatest scorers in football history.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo's average has been significantly reduced at Juventus. His numbers as a Juventus player are many of his scorer data in the Spanish League. Since arriving in 2018, he has celebrated 29 goals in 46 games, with an average of 0.63 goals every 90 minutes.
