Karim Benzema, despite being a highly paid player at Real Madrid and part of one of the biggest clubs globally, has been facing a goal-scoring drought for weeks. The provocative question arises: Can Karim Benzema still score a goal?
While Lionel Messi has managed to score six goals since the start of the season with FC Barcelona, the pressure is mounting on Benzema. Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale scored for Real Madrid in a recent match, further intensifying the scrutiny on Benzema. He has even faced jeers from the crowd on various pitches, including at Real Madrid’s home ground.
With the French national team, Benzema has not scored for 1,217 minutes, and yet, France secured a victory without him in a recent match against Belarus (4-2). The growing concern is whether Benzema can regain confidence and find the path to the net, or if he risks losing his place in the team.
The situation has sparked discussions and reactions. What are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions on the site and on our Facebook page.
