Real Madrid’s do-it-all striker Karim Benzema has continued to shine this season, marking his impact with impeccable build-up play and laser-guided finishing.
The Frenchman tucked away a pearler against Athletic Bilbao three days before Christmas, a finish of instinctive brilliance that has become a trademark of his, and one not too dissimilar to a certain Lionel Messi who, of course, is no longer producing wonders in La Liga — Benzema appears to have picked up the mantle.
In the above video, Dr. Rajpal Brar DPT has deconstructed Benzema’s incredible opening strike in that match over the festive period, analysing the setup to the follow-through and everything in between.
