Breaking News: Karim Benzema believes Real Madrid are the strongest team in La Liga
The French striker, Karim Benzema, believes that Madrid are the strongest team in La Liga. Madrid’s arch rivals, Barcelona, are hailed as one of the best teams in Europe but the Frenchman thinks otherwise.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have been struggling in the final third for the last two games. The Spanish Champions have scored only a single goal in the last two matches and that goal also came with the help of a free kick taken by Xavi Hernandez.
While Barcelona are struggling to find the back of the net, Real Madrid have been in extraordinary goal scoring form. Los Blancos scored four goals on the weekend and managed to win 3-0 against a tough-looking opposition in the shape of Villarreal.
With the win over Villarreal, Madrid are now second in La Liga’s points table. The Spanish Champions are only a point behind Levante – one of the most underrated teams of this season.
Real Madrid were to face Villarreal at Santiago Bernabeu and the Spanish Champions expected a tricky opposition. However, Jose Mourinho played the right cards and he was able to show that Los Blancos are definitely strong contenders to win the league.
On the other hand, the Frenchman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350, later addressed the press and told them how he believes that his side is the strongest in La Liga. The Frenchman, who scored the opening goal of the game, said:
"I like Real Madrid to play touch football and also to counterattack. We gave a great performance, especially in the first half. I believe Real Madrid is the strongest team in La Liga.”
Karim Benzema is currently facing huge competition in Madrid. The Spanish Giants play a 4-2-3-1 formation which means that either Benzema or Gonzalo Higuain can take the spot up front.
Despite such high competition, Karim Benzema claimed that it doesn’t matter whether he is scoring goals or the Argentinean striker, all he cares about is the win picked up by the team.
The Frenchman said:
"This victory is very important to the team. It doesn't matter if Pipa [Gonzalo Higuain] or I score. Our mission is to score and help the team. The important thing in football is to win."
Real Madrid are now ready to face Barcelona, who are currently going through a poor goal scoring form.
