The magic of Real Madrid has struck again, with a goal from Benzema on the lawn of Sevilla: “We are starting to get used to it”

“We are starting to get used to it. This team is capable of doing special things“, delighted Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the meeting, at the microphone of Movistar Plus. It takes more to “Mister” to fall from his chair, his phlegm during the electric Real-Chelsea last Tuesday testifies to it. But he was still amazed by the metamorphosis of his players: “In the first half, it looked like a tired team, and in the second, a team of incredible intensity.”

39 matches, 39 buts pour Benzema

“It’s hard to understand why…“, continues an Ancelotti “very proud“of the reaction of his group. A group of which Benzema was not the most flamboyant of individuals. Rodrygo notably highlighted himself, with a goal and the assist for “KB9”. “He will be a great player. He made differences many times“, greeted his coach.

But the man who laid the last stone in Madrid’s fantastic comeback is, once again, Benzema. Like a symbol. As if he had to be the face of the success of Real Madrid this season, for whom he scored 39 goals in 39 matches in 2021-2022. With the backdrop of the quest for a Ballon d’Or for which the White House will undoubtedly not fail to lobby.

“It is fundamental at the moral level”

This individual issue was secondary, this Sunday. It was collective that was in question. One more step towards a title that seems to reach out to Nacho and his teammates. “Because it was in this stadium, against this rival, after such a first half… it is fundamental on a moral level“, rejoiced the author of the second of three goals for Real at Sanchez-Pizjuan.

What emotions. Not to mention the goal denied to Vinicius Jr for a handball, which created resentment in the ranks of the leader of La Liga, and thus added a touch of heroism in this turnaround. At the moment, Real gives the impression of winning (or qualifying) against all odds.
