What would Real Madrid be without Karim Benzema at the end of the season?
Not a team that can still believe in the title, anyway.
Already the savior of his team last weekend during the shock at the top against Atlético (1-1), the Frenchman got him out of a very bad situation again this Saturday.
He scored a double while Real were led by promoted Elche, scoring first with a header (73rd) then a superb recovery in half-volley from the left in stoppage time (90th + 1).
"I am happier than ever"
“It's the work of the whole team.
It was not an easy game for us, but with courage, and all together, we went ahead and we ended up winning three very important points for us, debriefed Benz '.
Every time you step onto the pitch, you know it's La Liga, that you have to give your all to be in the top spots.
My second goal?
It's a great goal, worth three points, so I'm happier than ever ”.
Injured in the groin in February and absent for three games, the French striker came back very strong.
Real, 2nd in Liga before Barça's match on Sunday, will need him at the end of the season.
The returns of Sergio Ramos and Eden Hazard are not going to hurt either.
