A victory in a late match and seven points ahead of its runner-up and neighbor, Atlético Madrid.

Real proved that they were master of La Liga on Wednesday at the Santiago-Bernabeu against Athletic Bilbao (1-0).

And of course, it was Karim Benzema who scored the only goal of the game.

After seeing a shot repelled by a reflex stop by Unai Simon, the goalkeeper of the Basques and the Spanish selection (7th), the French scored by resuming a loose shot from Luka Modric (40th).

Two days after the disappointment caused by his fourth place at the Ballon d'Or, Benzema was acclaimed by his audience who chanted "Karim, Balon de Oro".

Real center forward consolidates his position as top scorer in La Liga (12 goals in 14 games).

As he approaches his 34th birthday (December 19), he has already equaled his best record in a calendar year: 35 goals in 46 games, in all competitions, as in 2019.
