Real Madrid can expect a lot on Karim Benzema in the second half of the 2022/2023 season. The French striker exploded again.
Benzema started the 2022/2023 season not so well, after last season he was able to score 44 goals and win the LaLiga and Champions League titles. He was injured, and missed several matches with Los Blancos.
At that time, Madrid did not seem too affected by the absence of Benzema. This is because other players can replace their task of scoring goals, including Vinicius Junior, who can score 10 goals before the 2022 World Cup breaks.
Then, a row of other players also looked fertile. Federico Valverde can score eight goals, even Luka Modric can also score 5 goals. Karim Benzema himself missed a total of eight games together Real Madridand only made one goal until the competition was off.
After the 2022 World Cup was held, Benzema immediately exploded with Madrid. He can score five goals in just four matches.
In detail, he can score three goals in the Spanish League, as well as two goals in the Spanish Super Cup. Now, Benzema has collected 11 goals this season.
However, there are still concerns for Madrid’s game. Of the five matches after the 2022 World Cup break, Madrid have swallowed two defeats. When Benzema was able to score goals diligently, now it is the other players who are sluggish.
The only other player to score for Madrid after the 2022 World Cup break is Rodrygo. That was because Benzema was not played against Cacereno in the Copa del Rey.
At the moment, Real Madrid himself is still in second place in the Spanish League standings with 38 points, three points behind Barcelona. Then, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are also still struggling in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. With Karim Benzema who are on fire again, can Madrid be successful again this season?
