Is it possible for you to provide stats of Ronaldo's goals and assists of at least 10 matches in CL knockout stages or El Classico where Benzema doesn't play? We can then analyse with validation. [And provide as much random data as possible without selecting so that our conclusion can be good].

It's been plain enough to see for whoever watched the games this season that Benzema has been a useless finisher for quite some time. Look at the match in Paris and many many fixtures in this and previous season. It's plain enough, based on these stunning misses, that Zidane doesn't discipline him for being wasteful, because he cares more for his movement and touch.

7:05, 8:02

This is a regular occurrence. You can stick in pretty much any game from this year to see the same thing.

There is no master plan to sacrifice his scoring to make Ronaldo look better. He has plenty opportunities to do so and there'd be zero fan frustration with Benzema if he put those away. Nobody asks anything else.

The main reason Higuain was sold is because he was a target men

Huh? LOL

My claim is not that Benzema is sacrificed off his goals. My claim is that Benzema (despite being a worse goalscorer) is having tactical role that enhances Ronaldo's goalscoring. I want stats which I mentioned earlier if you need to claim otherwise.

What do you even mean by that? "enhances Ronaldo's goalscoring"... How? By making space for his headers? Playing one-twos to support his frontline mate who is leagues ahead of him in finishing? Who knew.. So vague. But who knew that strikers work together to make space for each other... and I just gave you a piece of evidence of how the tactic works with Bale playing in Ronaldo's space.

Any striker at that level would do that. Muller is a very good finisher despite being a second striker, twice the player Benzema is. You seem to be creating a narrative that Ronaldo's scoring hinges on Benzema's presence out of thin air and providing no substance while asking for evidence to contrary. Haha.

I never said that. 'Enhancing' is the keyword.

Mine is of consequential statement on watching Benzema's superior movement (compared to other static target men) in front of goal and Real Madrid's adamancy to retain him despite having other excellent goalscorers and also Muller who wasn't not Ancelotti's plan who could be signed. It's Morten who claimed that Stats doesn't concur with my statement. Hence, why I asked him to provide the stats, so that we can analyse the average.

Too good, Messi aint catching him in CL goals. Fucking unreal considering he was a fair few goals ahead prior to 2012 or 2013.

since last year face real in CL basically means start every game with already one goal down, because you know the "poacher" will always find a way to score.
