Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo was the real blockage to benzema achieving his great potentials at Real madrid, Benzema has really been playing good football for both club and country, and he is on his way to be many fans favorite player of all time, also I think Real madrid amongst the Three Spanish Giants are my favorite to win the Liga this season, Barcelona and Atletico madrid aren't going to be a challenge.
Benzema has almost the same seasons in Real Madrid - he is a very stable and cool player. But against the background of Ronaldo, of course, he was in the shadows, but there was no blocking of potential, that's for sure.
By the way, Atlético lost today for the 4th time in a row in La Liga
I don't know when this happened the last time, but I saw information that three defeats in a row were already 10 years ago.
Yep. We rarely saw Atletico defeated in a row more than twice, while this time it was already 4 times.
The biggest problem is in their defense. They have a crisis of central defenders, losing both their strongest CB (Savic & Gimenez). Also, 1 Right-Back (Sime Vrsaljko) is injured as well. Atletico Madrid is very unlucky this time.
Yes, they have problems with defense, but still they are not fatal enough to lose to Mallorca. I don't know how to explain this losing streak. By the way, their attack also does not meet expectations, at least from Greenzman most expected a much better game.
