Lewandowski and Kane are better, though

Lasted 20 minutesChelsea’s defence
There’s a weird feeling watching Benzema now, this is some serious serious display of heading but the guy in general just looks like he’s playing on another level to others on the pitch.
My god, benzema is unreal…
Benzema is very composed.
As I said many times, there’s not a single player I regret us missing out on more than Benzema. It was so close that he played for United
State of that dive 
Without the shadow of a doubt.
Chelsea 0 - [2] Real Madrid - Karim Benzema 24'
Deserves Ballon D'or
Oh wow, Chelsea are really bad.
Benzema Ballon D'or loading....
Benzema’s been absolutely phenomenal this season. Two goals tonight and two of the best goals this season in CL.
Shocking dive. In a great position too
What/who am I supposed to be looking at?It's easy to moan from behind a screen, I know, but why does this still so frequently happen in elite football?
Some people don't really get it, maybe they will after today.
Benzema really is insane
Which makes sense as he’s probably the best player in the world right now.
I'd take him in a heartbeat alongside Ronnie once again in United, even at this age. No way he comes though.
Edit: Incredible it took so many people until he was 34 to finally get recognition
That's because he is now. He carries this on, he'll win his first Ballon d'Or, especially if France go far in the world cup. He's in the top 3 for goal contribution across all leagues with Lewandowski and Mbappe, and he's clearly the main man in the CL right now.
Get up Havertz ffs!!

It’s pathetic the way it’s premier league players now that throw themselves to the ground for penalties, that’s to do with state of reffing here now.
Up there with?
He was always very talented but now has combined that with experience and intelligence. Such a clever footballer. I've followed his career closely from thd Lyon days nd was gutted that he went to Madrid instead of us
Yep. There's been quite a few of them over the years but he's certainly way up there.
Nice little jinx.
Danjuma was good against us I recall.
It's taking the piss out of some no mark English pundit saying the same thing recently. Possibly Micah Richards.
I love a good headed goal and Benzema got two absolute beauties tonight already.
The only other one I can think of is on the pitch too and played the assist!
Chelsea are rattled
Can he play right wing?
Bale and him around 2009 - 2012
For me it’s Ronaldinho. I still remember coping with missing out then he scored this on his debut
Chelsea on their knees...
He’s been top class since his early Lyon days. Don’t even want to think how much more we could’ve won if we saw value in the market back then. I genuinely believe, abysmal weather apart (perhaps a big factor for someone living in Southern France), he was more interested in United move than Real. We were a better and more prospective team back then
