Karim Benzema has enjoyed his most successful individual campaign with Real Madrid this season. The Frenchman is the undisputed contender for Ballon d’Or this season after leading Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League titles. Benzema came close to breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League goal scoring record as well but fell two short of the Portuguese Superstar.
Benzema and Cristiano enjoyed a wonderful partnership during the 9 years they played together at Real Madrid. The Frenchman played second fiddle to Cristiano as the Portuguese would always bang huge number of goals.
Ronaldo scored 451 goals in 9 years at Real Madrid and this feat is almost unrepeatable. A lot of players take inspiration from the Portuguese Superstar and Benzema revealed he also tried to copy Cristiano.
Speaking about Cristiano in an interview with El Espanol, Karim Benzema said:
“I always liked to watch and observe him, I tried to concentrate on his movements, dribbling, passing, ball handling. I dissected everything from him. I tried to take his things, but then doing the same thing is impossible.”
Benzema admitted although he tried to copy Cristiano’s skills but it was impossible to do that. The Portuguese is widely regarded as the Greatest Player of All Time and of course it’s not easy copying Cristiano.
Ronaldo was once asked in an interview who will be the next Cristiano to which he replied:
“No one can be the next Cristiano Ronaldo. There are no doubles in football. The next player will be what he has to be but never the same.”
There will surely never be another Cristiano Ronaldo.
Christiano Ronaldo is the best
Great comments Karim, you surely had a wonderful partnership with Ron at Madrid, so you know best what’s it like to play alongside him. Also you were one of his best feeders… not to be seen at Juventus…and now at Man U!
His positioning in the box is just too good… I love Roro he will remain my all time favorite. Zema for sure deserves the Ballon d’Or.
It’s well said by Karim Benzeman the Frenchman.. Ronaldo play well at Madrid n even out of Madrid ..also Benzeman play well at Madrid the both soccer starz are incredible play maker in our today football world.. but it’s not a easy task to copy Christiano Ronaldo he is as he is (cuz it’s what it’s in CR7 shoes) …all footballer got different skill n tactical know how but for Ronaldo he does it well when u are really ineed of game ..just as the Frenchman recently did for Real Madrid …
True, Benzema in his best season is nothing close to Cr7, good he has improved a lot, still not great as Cr7
Cristiano is the best
