Dani Carvajal Eternal nightmare: 15 games, renewal ... and another injury
Chronicle Benzema and Vinicius, to the rescue in Mestalla
Davide Ancelotti The "football sick" in Carlo's shadow
The game Narration and statistics
The fight for the top scorer in the
League
is Madrid. It might seem utopian after two seasons in which
Real Madrid
have missed a
Karim Benzema
companion
, but it is. And it would seem more surreal a few months ago that that pair for the French striker was going to be
Vinicius Júnior
, facing the goal during his first courses in the capital of
Spain
. French and Brazilian are, with
six and five goals
, the top scorers in the Spanish championship.
This Sunday against Valencia they completed the comeback of Ancelotti's men, secured the white leadership and already have
eleven of Madrid's fifteen goals
.
Chamartín's
goalscoring dream
. “We are lucky to have this type of player. They are doing very well, "said the coach, who summarized his performance:" We suffered when the ball was thrown, but they were fantastic on the counter. When we have had control of the game, they
have been very dangerous
. I did not think that this team did not have a goal, they have it because the players have a lot of quality, but we have not won because of that,
we have won because of the spirit. An indomitable spirit
.
The Brazilian returned to act as an agitator of the white attack.
He scored against
Alavés
in the league debut, scored two against
Levante
, one of them in the last moments to tie the game, and against
Celta he
made it 3-2 that sped up the win.
At
Mestalla he
went a step further: he scored 1-1 after a shot that hit a rival's leg lightly and put the center for Benzema to lead Madrid in the last

of the whites.
Karim's extreme production
The
statistics of the Lyon striker
are to analyze calmly. He has six goals and five assists this season. In other words, he has produced eleven goals, more than any team in the League so far. In the major European leagues,
only Haaland and Lewandowski accumulate more shots to the net
(7) and only
Paul Pogba
has given
more goal passes
(6). A numerical outrage that discards the theory that his return to the French team would physically wear Benzema down. Nothing is further from reality: last season he scored 23 goals in the league and 30 between all competitions and now he has six, remaining essential but finding
the company of Vinicius
when scoring.
Madrid finished the last season with
Casemiro and Asensio in second place in the scorers' table
, with seven goals, while this season the young Brazilian already has five.
«It is a victory for the group.
If I can continue like this, scoring, the most important thing is that they are important goals for the club, "said Benzema, adding that Madrid deserved" all three points until the end. "
"They give me balls and I'm happy"
The physical is being a key factor in the victories of Madrid during these weeks. The Ancelotti team, who recovered
Antonio Pintus
to lead the physical preparation, has already scored six goals from the 85th minute of the matches, confirming that they are reaching the final stretch of the duels in a more than optimal way. Proof of this are Vinicius and Benzema, but also young people like
Camavinga or Rodrygo
, who have acted as a catalyst in
San Siro and Mestalla
, or the constant lung that is
Fede Valverde
.
Against Valencia, the goals came in
minutes 86 and 88
, against
Inter in 89
, against
Levante in 85
... Four goals that have given the Whites two wins and a draw, in addition to those scored in those final seconds against Alavés and Celta.
«
We continue to believe and Madrid never give up
.
They give me a lot of balls and I'm happy ", analyzed Vinicius.
