Is Benzema at the moment the best number 9 in the world?

Probably Yes.

Will he win the next Balon d'or?

Probably No.
For me he deserves to be the best number 9 in the world now, looking at what he could do not just scoring but leading his team to win mostly every match that he plays and also advice and motivate his teammates, he is a machine and also smart player.
About the balon d'or I'm not sure that the fifa can do that, they have some mechanisms of choosing the player who doesn't deserve it lmao, even if it's not benzima who will take it I'm sure they will handle it to someone who doesn't deserve it at all

Karim Benzema really is a frightening figure for the opponent's defense, he proved again in this match. The hat-trick he created made Real Madrid lock the victory from Chelsea. Real Madrid almost always get a win when Benzema plays, otherwise if he can't play Real Madrid will find it difficult to score goals. Previously he saved Real Madrid in the last 16 from Paris Saint-Germain. Now I think he's going to do that again in this top 8.

If Benzema manages to lead France to win the World Cup then it's possible that he will get the Ballon d'Or.

Wow again Karim Benzema listed his name on the board by scoring 2 goals I really didn't expect Real Madrid to win at Stamford Bridge
Is this the impact of Chelsea's defeat in the local league so that their mentality goes down? I still remember Chelsea Champions League match this season, no team can score when they play at Stamford Bridge but today Madrid scored 3 goals. In another match Munich also lost, but they still have a chance in the second leg by conceding 1 goal I think Munich is still safe.

from the team's journey from the group stage to the quarter-finals of the 1st leg, Benzema is probably the best number 9 player in the UEFA Champions League, because if the best in the world there is still another number 9 player  Wink

to win the Balon d'or, it is possible but Benzema must be able to win the UEFA Champions League trophy and must contribute more to the French team in Qatar.

Real Madrid beautifully remove PSG from champions league, as if that wasn't enough they have now do the same thing to Chelsea except that there is another away-home match next week, isn't that crystal clear that Benzema is the new old goat that wouldn't retire anytime soon as Ronaldo and Messi are no longer giving us the entertainment we use to have, the goal would have been 4 if not the off target Benzema missed.
Look at the way Mendy was trying to pass ball to Rudiger, that was very poor way of passing ball, he knew Benzema wouldn't see a chance without given a try, he saw the chance and he took it with boldness.

Apparently Bayern Munchen was not able to prove that they can beat Villareal tonight easily. Bayern Munchen lost 1-0 to Villarreal even though they dominated this match well from the start. This is a result that surprises many people because on paper Bayern Munchen has a bigger advantage than Villareal.

We had really great two days in the Champions League. Especially thanks to the Benfica - Liverpool and Chelsea - Real Madrid games, we all must be delighted with the performances. I'm not saying the other two games as there was only one goal in both of them. Liverpool didn't have a big trouble against Benfica generally and managed to get a nice 3-1 win. And today, Chelsea - Real Madrid game was just fascinating. Both halves were great to watch thanks to both teams. But the happy side at the end was Real Madrid by 3-1. Benzema is still unstoppable and made another hat-trick right after his last one against PSG.
For Real Madrid, I already said that 1-3 is a good result for the first leg before the game starts. Luckily Real Madrid can prove its capacity tonight in front of Chelsea supporters.

1-3 I hope maybe as the final result of the first leg.

Sad that I lost the match for Bayern.
It was unexpected to get 3-1 win for Real Madrid...
My eyes! How could Bayern lose such a game! I assume most bets and multi were ruined thanks to Villarreal.
Worst part of all of this is that bookies didn't increase Bayern odds in the next match so we couldn't place an early bet for Villarreal destruction next week... Bayern @1.33 - Villarreal @8.8
For Real Madrid, they are 1 step closer to semi-finals thanks to Benzema.

It's karim Benzema again with anothe rman of the moment performance. 2 consecutive hat-tricks in an UCL game, that's something yiu don't see everyday and still, some people would still refer to him as an average player. I guess all that is changing after Real Madrid wins this UCL trophy, Lol. Well the thing is, I don't doubt them winning, not with this quality of game play.

Grin The Chelsea defense did not disappoint me. In fact, this third goal broke all the substitutions and Tuchel's mood that he made at half-time.
Chelsea are good, but Real are even better and with a two-goal advantage it's hard to imagine that at the Santiago Bernabeu they'll have trouble reaching an overall victory.
LOL Bavaria? What kind of stupid patterns? I wonder if they can bounce back at home like they did with Salzburg?
Bounce back, did I get that correctly! Not from this team and against Real Madrid for that matter. I wonder if they've (Chelsea) got Karim Benzema on there side because with the way i see it, it's only Benzema that can do this.

Real Madrid will defend this win and they step 1 foot to semi-final this season.

Defend huh, probably not. Real Madrid doesnt really fit with defensive playing style and they have been pretty much loves being offensive ever since the group stage. They tried to not be that aggresive against PSG on the 1st leg and they didnt get the result they wanted for, being aggresive on the other side fit them properly. Even better right now with Benzema currently being on top of his peak performance, two hattrick in a row and thats insane

Wow man, an amazing matchday we have.

Real Madrid i think sealed the eliminatory i dont see Chelsea coming back in Real Madrid house. Less with Benzema in this form.

But for me the best was the Villarreal performance, they beat Bayern in a majestic way, and they can score 2 or 3 more goals, Bayerns was very very lucky, the match can be ended 4-0 for Villarreal (woodwork, shot for the middle of the pitch, and two counterattacks).

Btw Villarreal didn't just win but they were the better team here today hope they will be ready when they go to Germany.
I couldn't count how many goal chances they have missed, they should have ended the match with 2 or 3 goal leads. This match is unreal though, both teams play fast-paced gameplay, and as in result, we can clearly see how good the Villareal defences are.

Regarding another match, though luck for Chelsea, I doubt the second leg would do any difference.

I was able to recover my loss last time I had with Atletico Cheesy
Sad that I lost the match for Bayern.
It was unexpected to get 3-1 win for Real Madrid but I had expected something this TBH. While Bayern lost was totally out of my expectation.
It was a nice reveal anyway. I have shared that Chelsea would be best pick for Madrid and that's what happened LOL.

Chelsea press quite well but Real Madrid create chances and even though they conceded a goal before this they had 2 good chances to bring the score to 3-0. I don't know what we will see in the second half, but I think Chelsea's problematic defense will still show itself and Real Madrid will score.
Villarreal shows amazing efficiency - two shots on target and two goals (even if one is canceled). Bavaria can't do anything yet.

Real Madrid gave something special to a Chelsea club that was in bad shape. Not only yesterday against Brentford in the Premier League. The instability of the formation now also shown by Chelsea players that we can see is something that is difficult for us to witness. It seems that in the second half, I hope that Chelsea can evaluate the mistakes made in the first half and minimize the gap.

A great match for real madrid outside their stadium they have done 90% of qualification today, they managed to score 3 goal by the magician karim benzima who is really getting use to score hat-tricks like he did against PSG, even Chelsea played well too but had made few mistakes in defending. The third goald is totally the goalkeeper' fault and gave a free score to benzima. In my opinion everything is clear now. Next match at Bernabeu which gives more chances for real madrim to confirm their qualifications. As we saw also the coach has entred Gareth bale in the last minutes of the game which means it's possible for him to take karim benzima's place in return match this april 11

I think that this game has been the most amazing one among the games in this round so far. Both of them are very big teams and there is a very quick playing style by each teams which made me happy a lot. I wouldn't like to see one side trying to secure a certain score by playing defensively. It just kills the joy of a game directly. Real Madrid are 2-1 ahead for now. And the best player of the first half was Benzema I think. He even missed a hat-trick chance too but he can still make it. Can't wait to see the second half!
Actually, Chelsea has played well, but Real Madrid is much better. Not in vain for more than 90 minutes if the game goes on like this. Because we feel satisfied served with a score of 3 by one person. And yes, Karim Benzema became the top Heatrick, especially when the 22nd minute and 24th minute made Chelsea's mentality go down.

From Chelsea point of view, it seems that they did not give their best at all, but unfortunately, with their current condition, they will be very unprepared against Real Madrid.

I'm just loving the Chelsea v Real Madrid match now. Real Madrid had a great start to the match thanks to Benzema's two superb headers by only a three-minute interval. After that, I was like that was it and Chelsea were going to have big struggles. But Chelsea still managed to score their goal finally in fifteen minutes. And this was another header by Havertz. It is a tough day for the goalkeepers indeed.  Grin  Now it is halftime by a 1-2 score. But if the match goes on like this, then Real Madrid might still win.
i even keep my tv remote far enough away so as not to move the channel now Cheesy
Well Benzema is again and again a frightening specter for their opponents. 3 minutes 2 goals is something that is quite good to see. His movement is absolutely incredible and it can be said that he is performing quite well now.
Chelsea cut the gap but it's not enough now for them

Chelsea are just in a desperate condition now. They lost the game by 3-1 in Stamford Bridge and it was a huge hit to them. I'm not sure if they can manage to recover at this point. It is football and everything is possible any time of course. But if we look at this realistically, I don't think that Real Madrid would let them achieve their goal in Santiago Bernabeu. They just need to keep the current level of performance and this would be enough for them to advance to next round. And btw, Benzema had a hat-trick in this match which was lovely.
