Benzema has to be in that category of heavily underrated as a player, he reminds me of Rooney in terms of how how played such an unselfish role for madrid under zidane whilst ronaldo was at the club and has carried the team to a large degree since ronaldo left much like rooney did for a season after Ronaldo left united.
It's unfortunate that his time playing on the international ended so prematurely. He is up there currently with Lewandowski for me in a far tougher league.

tough to say, mendy was foolish in the box but it would’ve been a soft penalty to give. It just doesn’t seem like they reviewed it which was kinda weird? But we weren’t clinical enough despite a much better second half
I don't think so. An aging Benzema gets 2 weeks of rest every year during Qualifers without any risk for injuries & fatigue.
Benzema is clearly a better overall player than Lewandowski who is just a scorer.
Atletico are struggling.
I don’t have an issue with you stating your opinion - because that is what this is - but to call Benzema (who i rate highly) „clearly“ better than Lewandowski looks a bit biased coming from a Dortmund supporter.
Betis away is a pretty hard game in fairness so was a decent point. Really have to string together 3-4 wins though soon given what the other two are doing.
Pellegrini doing well at Betis
I've nothing against Lewy. He's one of my favorite players and I don't blame him leaving us as bosman. BVB should've sold him with 1 year left of his deal.
That being said, Benzema is above Lewy as the better overall player.
Sevilla 6 points behind Atleti. Still 24 points but I think they are a bit late. I would have liked to see them in the fight until the end.
Pedrerol reaffirms. "Mbappé will play for Madrid next season." It's Pedrerol, but I'm sure he knows something.
I have dedicated March to Haaland, but I think it is time to return to the cult of l'héritier, qui arrivera de Paris. L´élu.

Madrid were in a similiar situation last year. They took the lead from barcelona with 8-10 games to go and did not drop a single point.
I don't think they will now either. And aletico ain't winning all their matches. Madrid might do the double.

Happy for him, he's a good man.
Madrid has now basically no defenders, xd. Mendy, Varane, Ramos, Carvajal (full starting back four), Lucas Vázquez, Nacho out injured.
Nacho just had a red, I think. Still hilarious.
I approve of your username. Can never resist a good name spoof. Have an imaginary like.
The squad vs Getafe is
Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Diego Altube, Eder Militao, Marcelo, Alvaro Odriozola, Victor Chust, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Fede Valverde, Isco, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Vinicius, Mariano and Rodrygo.
I guess will try something like
Courtois
Odriozola Militao Chust Marcelo
Valverde Kroos Modric Isco
Benzema Vinicius
Funny thing is some midfielders are almost KO too.
Fantastic start from us but Bilbao are always tricky
Bilbao are a terribly coached side. They do know Alba is an important cog in barca's system right? They've literally left him on an island.
This ref is an absolute joke, Bilbao getting away with absolute murder 
Griezmann ya beauty!
What a game by De Jong, haven't seem one of our midfielders dominate a final like this since Rakitic vs Juve.
Yeah - kid is everywhere. Definitely seems to be a season where he makes another step up. If he stays on this trajectory he's going to be real scary good.
Messi 
Wowwww
Cant imagine any Barca fans not looking at this with a smile on their face. Some beautiful footie being played.
What a goal from Messi:
Someone on the radio said that one of Athletic's problems is that after some time with a new coach, the players tend to lose intensity and accomodate again, with very high contracts and no competition, as well as the problem that sometimes it is not possible to obtain what you need, for example a decent striker.
At least in the past they were supposed to offer a tough opposition.
Messi's goal was an example of their apathy, like the rest of the game

Abit of a throwback goal that.
Fantastic performance in the finals for a team in 'crisis'. Barca might do the domestic double or Madrid another team in 'crisis' might go on to the do the european double. Interesting.
gotta admit though, you enjoyed that Messi goal deep down inside
Haha actually it was very good, but what a corridor they left him.gotta admit though, you enjoyed that Messi goal deep down inside
I have to admit that I feel a micro joy for Koeman, who seems to me a good guy. He deserves it after so many criticisms and being treated like a nobody
Yeah fair enough, it was nice to win something this season considering how bad the season started.
Would rather be in your position with a great chance of going to CL final. League race should be interesting too!
Picks it up in DM, one-two, dribbles a 1/3 of the field with a trailing player behind him, plays two consecutive one-two's, mugs off a defender and slots it home.
Messi is a Boticelli, a Michaelangelo. It's straight up art what he does. Does with one touch what even the other elite players normally do with two.

Some hilarious videos from barcas celebrations.
Every youth player trying to take a photo with messi while lenglet waits for his turn in the background.
Dembele trying to get into the la masia photo then being pushed out by eveyrone.

All of Mendy, Varane, Ramos, Carvajal, Lucas Vázquez, Nacho, Casemiro, Hazard out vs Getafe and now... Valverde. Isolated due to contact with COVID.
The injury situation at RM is honestly laughable, be it injuries or covid, everyone is falling apart, they barely have 11 players to play the game.
Guys, we need you to win the CL. You are aware of that, right?!
