I'm tired of seeing Benzema in Real Madrid uniform, what's so good about him? I mean Benzema last few years, what good is he? He is very lucky, lucky because Real Madrid are so fond of him. Play like an ordinary player but treated like a superstar at Real Madrid. Hary Kane will be a very good replacement, or bring back Morata.
Real madrid isn't fond of Benzema (the club is above any player, just look at how they treated Casillas or Raúl), is Zidane who is obsessed with Karim and doesn't want to let him go, seems to me like Zidane is taking pity on benzema because the national team doesn't want him in the squad.
The problem Real Madrid has been having this first half of the season is the lack of goals so, if they want to compete for something this season, they need to get another striker (Kane or Aubameyang), or at least bring Hazard so he can play as a winger and C.Ronaldo as the striker.
Barcelona will more stronger now because Coutinho almost official went to this team and i have recently see the news update that Barcelona raising the bids currently $142 million but there was the rumour say too that if he are willing to move from Liverpool probably will be done after summer not in the winter transfer window
Amazing deal for Barcelona, they got a young player with a lot of potential, they've strengthen their squad by weakening a potential rival in the Champions League, and provides a lot more depth squad. Honestly, with Dembelé, and now Coutinho, and maybe Yerry Mina (?) as a new centre back, I think Barcelona are on their way to win a lot of cups this year.
Unless something dramatic happens, La Liga 17/18 season might be one of the most boring we've seen in the last few years, kinda like the EPL, where you already know who's going to win the league.
