Karim Benzema appears to be gradually winning back the support of Real Madrid supporters after facing criticism from socios earlier in the season. The French striker, who had been under scrutiny for his lack of efficiency in front of goal, is now receiving praise in the Spanish media.
In a notable publication on Thursday, Marca commended Benzema’s altruism and highlighted his role as the most decisive center forward in Europe this season, with seven assists to his name. This places him ahead of his former teammate Gonzalo Higuain, who has four assists.
Referring to Benzema as “Magic Karim” in the article’s title, Marca depicted him as the violin in Real Madrid’s attacking trio, alongside the electric guitars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
This positive recognition from the media could contribute to rebuilding confidence in Benzema, who has been working to overcome earlier criticism and prove his value to the team.
