Meh, he will be scapegoated if France dont win, much like the a bunch of people in France blamed him for France performing poorly in the summer, despite it not making any sense at all.
So, they better win for him to get any creds here.
Benzema is imo reaching a new level of finesse at this age. He changed quite a bit. In the past he was more of a power player, now he almost plays like a Zidane, his area of action is huge. Impressive.
