Chad is GL legend in my mind. The way he fights with everyone for Benzema is inspiring, at least to me

A forward scoring 2 goals tends in a 3 goal haul tends to get separated when criticism is being shared. I'm all for Cristiano putting down all round performances but if he "just scores goals", then I would be very much satisfied.

That doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticised considering outside his two goals, he honestly didn't stand out much. Anyway, bad form was bound to hit the team and it just happen to be now. I'm still fairly optimistic of our chances though I really prefer Carlo doesn't drop La Liga to focus on UCL but say what.

For the record, Benzema is a key part of the cog that is Real Madrid but he wasn't saving the team. Everyone was in fine form in the 1st half of the season. Except Bale who is just sinking deeper and deeper in his own shit. With that being said, I didn't find Benzema had a bad match at all. Thought he actually had a decent match.
