I didnt see a lot of difference in his usual play, normaly he is slightly better at passing and dribbling but overal his first touch, vision, passing skills are mediocre at best and it showed last night, mainly due to that record that got into his head and he surprisingly choked a little, also brought out his worse flaws: Playing for himself( he would indead rather have lost 3-2 and scored twice), Not celebrating a team mate's goal (why do they even celebrate his is anyone's guess, I certainly wouldnt since it makes him look selfish and ungrateful), diving, begging for a penalty for his own glory when the ball was clearly outside, getting frustrated blaming everyone but himself and unsportmanlike behaviour to avoid shaking hands at the end.
All in all a very selfish classic Ronaldo performance, major difference being he didnt score, normally he would get 1/2 goals and newspapers be heading how the cl goat made Madrid cruise by pool to greatness with all the flaws being overlooked.
The reason by the way he doesnt get critisized as Messi for example is that he isnt hold to a higher standard and its his maximum level, so as long as he keeps scoring he is fine, Messi gets destroyed if he doesnt influences the game with goals and assists and an overall great game since thats has been shows to be his maximum level.
He should be really happy with Benzema, no striker in the world is that selfless and gives a ton of easy chances on a silver platter.
