Karim Benzema, the French striker from Real Madrid, has taken a step to appease his detractors by adopting a new haircut. After becoming the subject of internet mockery for a hairstyle he sported this summer, Benzema has now revealed a shaved head on social networks.
While the attention has often been on his hairstyles, it’s his goal-scoring drought that has raised more concerns, particularly in the French national team where he has not scored for almost 1300 minutes. The silence in front of the goal has been equally pronounced at Real Madrid, leading to whistles from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd.
The upcoming Champions League match against Galatasaray on Tuesday provides an opportunity for Benzema to potentially turn things around. The spotlight will be on him as fans and critics alike hope for a resurgence in his goal-scoring form.
