Ronaldo's sweet spell contrasted with Benzema's downfall

Since the beginning of the year Ronaldo has recovered the goal-scoring numbers we had become accustomed to. Nine goals in total, with eight league goals coming in nine fixtures. In other competitions, Ronaldo has managed nine goals in twelve games.

Zidane has granted him 2763 minutes in 31 games, in which he has been on the scoresheet no less than 25 times, as well as delivering 8 assists.

On the other hand, the French centre-forward has scored only five of Real Madrid's 63 goals this season, putting him behind Ronaldo, Isco, Bale, Morata, and even Ramos, as Real's sixth top goal scorer.

Not only is Sergio Ramos a centre-back, and thus expected to have a lower goal count than an attacking player, but Isco, Bale and Morata have all enjoyed less minutes this season.

Real Madrid supporters have grown tired of Karim's presence in the starting line-up and, at the same time, are delighted to have regained CR7's best version.
