Benzema better without Ronaldo

"I was the piece that made it all work", Benzema said in the summer about the illustrious strike force of Benzema, Bale and Ronaldo. Now that the 'BBC' doesn't exist, not only does he make the others play better, he also scores more goals.

It is interesting to see that not only has Benzema scored more goals, but Ronaldo has scored less. An analysis from 'ProFootballDB' concludes that Benzema, individually, has scored more goals since the Portuguese left. The same can not be said about Ronaldo.

The 'Los Blancos' striker has a goal ratio of 1.04 goals per game. In general terms, he has scored 5 league goals. The average is 1.24 if you include the goals he has assisted.

And Ronaldo? He has played 4 Serie A games this year and only scored once (2 including the penalty scored against Hellas Verona). Without counting penalties, Ronaldo has a goal ratio of 0.25 goals per game. The average is 0.5 when you include his assists.

The 'ProFootballDB' analysis show that Benzema and Ronaldo had practically the same average last year. And in the last season that they were teammates, the Portuguese's goal ratio was 0.9 compared to the Frenchman's 0.13 average, while Ronaldo had double the amount of Benzema's assists.
