Karim Benzema

[xavisionary]

Anyone else feel this could have been one of the best goals (in a Clasico) that never was?

Not more special than Montoya hitting the bar a few years ago.

Few in recent years that were better were Messi hitting the post standing still, over casillas. Or Pedro's dissalowed goal in the copa final in 2011.

Great player always present for top matches. French peoples are stupid, they don't want him. France needs Karim. Real needs Karim.

He was terrible today despite the goal. But I agree, France is idiotic if they don't take him to the Euros and depend on Giroud instead.

Always Real's best player against us for quite sometime now

I thought he was poor over all apart from goal.

Marcelo to me was best player on park by a distance, probably Bale Reals best player after that.

well today he wasn't that good I agree, marcelo was the best player today alongside Bale But Benzema's impact in el clasico generally has been greater than of real's other players.
especially penaldo

Bien fait !

They really hate this guy in France. I guess it's because of his background.

I bet.

Yes. Benz will be replaced by a proper white boy, giroud or gameiro.

It's also why Lloris trumps Mandanda every time !

Last thing France need is another off-the-pitch drama and a big tournament. Good decision, I think.

Most of the team is on Benz's side though. Not trying to be racist or anything but most of the team grew up similar to Benz and have some shady friends as well. I don't see this being a huge issue amonst the team.

The French people on the other hand are thrilled. There are always headlines complaining about the lack of white Frenchmen on the team.
