As expected it's a two man show from Madrid. Courtois saving everything and Benzema soloing it up front.

Seriously how good is Benzema. Just take a look at his touched even in defensive / pass back situations. He doesn't just pass back aimlessly. He puts the ball into space so they can rebound immediately to attack from a defensive action. His passes are almost all one touch. And he never loses the ball. What a player he is this season.

The position of Benzema was clearly offside in terms of the line being drawn, it's just a matter of whether the ball got to him after a deliberate play by the Liverpool player or not. Based on the replays it seemed like a ricochet.

Diaz doesn't impress me much so far, sorry. Good enough for EPL but he won't match Mane's level as a LW or LF from the past 4 seasons.

People got way too easily overboard based on some matches vs EPL mid-level tier and Villareal and Benfica, basically EL level teams.
