Marco Asensio returns with a bang from injury as Benzema becomes Real Madrid’s all-time fifth-highest goalscorer

LaLiga has resumed from 11th June and what a title race it has been. Barcelona has a 2-point advantage over Real Madrid. They have won their first 2 matches. But, Real aren’t far behind either.

Real Madrid has successfully overcome one of its toughest matches among the remaining fixtures. They have won their first 2 fixtures to keep the pressure on Barcelona.

Marco Asensio returned to football after a long 11-month injury lay-off. He had an ACL injury in the pre-season last July. He came on as a substitute against Valencia and scored a goal with his first touch after making a comeback from injury.

Asensio assisted another goal from which Benzema scored a stunner. What an effortless shot it was! If he can stay fit, with the form he seems to be in, Asensio will play a major role in Real Madrid’s bid for the LaLiga title.

Now coming to that Benzema stunner. Probably, it was the best goal of the season. It was a treat to the eyes. You can watch that goal running on a loop.

With 2 goals against Valencia, Benzema has now surpassed Ferenc Puskas as Real Madrid’s all-time fifth-highest goalscorer. He has now 243 goals to his name.

In 2009, a 21-year-old Karim Benzema joined Real Madrid from Olympique Lyonnais. 11 years later, he’s joint-fifth in the all-time top-scorers list for the most successful club in LaLiga and European Cup history. What a journey it has been for the Frenchman!

Real Madrid has now again closed the gap to 2-points. They still have tough fixtures against Real Sociedad and Athletic Club to overcome but it’s Quique Setien’s side with the tougher run-in on paper. Barcelona still has to face Atletico Madrid and Sevilla in the remaining nine games.

It looks like we’ve got an exciting title race on our hands to close the season.
