Randomly seeing a lot of Benzema slander on my timeline this Saturday morning... and I strongly DISAGREE. Karim Benzema to Real Madrid is one of the best bargains in football history. A €35m signing that lasted 14 years at Real Madrid. 5 more years than Ronaldo. 6 more years than Bale. 14 years at the biggest club in the world, under the most pressure, with the most scrutiny, in the most ruthless environment. He's 5th on their all-time appearance list, their 2nd top scorer (354 goals) and their 2nd top assist provider (156). He facilitated the greatest goalscorer the game has ever seen, whilst also scoring 20 goals in a season 6 times alongside him and 30 once. Once Ronaldo left, he produced one of the greatest individual seasons this century... 44 goals, 15 assists in 46 games in 21/22, including 15 in the Champions League, including strikes in 5 straight knockout games, with back-to-back hat-tricks. Everyone will have their favourites... but Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane haven't achieved anywhere close to the things Benzema has and didn't have the same longevity at the very top either. As far as I'm concerned, Benzema can sit at any table he wants!

Yeah kane is good but benzema is just straight from another planet. Cope and seethe.

@TotalRodrygoal2 @theMadridZone what does this even mean😭

@theMadridZone He isn’t injured? What a useless guy

Kylian Mbappé with Ester Exposito in Italy 🇮🇹

@MadridXtra @diarioas yayyyyy

🚨 Carvajal is OUT for 2 weeks. @diarioas

@DontbeSilly167 @ZidniEmoney @stakinmilesaway @longlivejulien1 context mate . did nacho have the same impact as benzema? idiot

@ZidniEmoney @francom30prop @stakinmilesaway @longlivejulien1 Nacho has 6 buddy, doesn't mean he's better than the likes of Messi or Zidane Showing a pic of his 21/22 season is completely irrelevant when we are talking about his 09/10-17/18 seasons

Real Madrid is not winning the 3-peat let alone 5 UCLs in 9 years with Gonzalo Higuain next to Ronaldo and Bale I’m not expecting non-Madridistas to comprehend how vital Benzema was to our game, scoring goals or not.

@ZidniEmoney @stakinmilesaway @DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 clowns man

@francom30prop @stakinmilesaway @DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 Too much disrespect from football twitter

@Hal10100067 @Rup4kC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Rup4kC De bruyne was better this season

He’s doing the job of a 8, 10, and 9 in literally the most difficult circumstances playing against all the momentum and you want to question if any striker is close in terms of all around play, fuck off man How do you watch a striker play with this much IQ and dare question him?

@MusialaSon @footyhan x.com/rup4kc/status/…

@footyhan Can we see any Benzema highlights outside of 21/22?

Literaly not a single impressive thing in this 10 min comp, fakest player ever.

@JWirrow @MusialaSon @footyhan cook

@MusialaSon @footyhan Pure football

@kulu_enthusiast @footyhan put that on ur life

@footyhan Benzema was a meme for a decade

@ali_Him123 @Rup4kC no one cares about what u like

@Rup4kC I'm starting to dislike Benz football now. I've heard too much glaze from you and Zis the last 3 days. How much y'all getting paid?

BENZEMA IN HIS WORST SEASON was dropping classics your favorite strikers would break ACLs for, I’m sorry bro He can score 0 goals for all I care, when his all around game as a player was literally making everyone around him better and better, he platformed everyone

I don't think we'll see this Vinicius again

@DontbeSilly167 @stakinmilesaway @longlivejulien1 crazy how crucial he was without even scoring , the players u name are non existent without goals

@stakinmilesaway @francom30prop @longlivejulien1 He scored 4 goals in 28 games against big teams between 10/11 and 17/18..

@stakinmilesaway @DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 too much disrespect on his name

@DontbeSilly167 @francom30prop @longlivejulien1 2 goas in the semis in 018 against bayern to take madrid to the finals , then score in that final . Elite performance against juve in the 017 final . Have some manners

Looking at some of these touches, my god man, you are committing a fucking sin comparing his technique and quality to make his team better to others Fuck off all of you

@DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 it would be faster to name his stinkers because he has too many good ones , city 2023 , end of list

@francom30prop @longlivejulien1 Well, then i'll ask you again... Name his iconic performances against big teams on KOs..

@DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 u realise we are talking about benzema ? not suarez we are talking about benzema. u cant try this with benz

@francom30prop @longlivejulien1 He really wasn't. Name all of his iconic performances against big teams on KOs

@DontbeSilly167 @longlivejulien1 dont beg it

@longlivejulien1 Benzema was not really as vital as you think he was in the seasons where Madrid won the UCL...
