That video was obviously made by a Cristiano fanboy, someone could make a video twice as long as this one for CR7.
The players who score the most are always the ones with the most chances missed.

Not all seasons are created equally. Benzema's value & importance is 10x bigger after CR7 left. He is the difference maker between Real Madrid missing Champions League and being a contender for LaLiga/UCL. Which you couldn't say about Benzema when CR7 was there.
We score less goals now than in the past, so obviously Benzemas contributions now are more important, percentage-wise.
But that aside, his last two seasons are not much different than other good seasons he's had in the past, individually.

The fact Benzema don't have a reliable scorer next to him up-front makes it even more impressive.
Benzema's level during last 3 seasons after Cristiano's departure is a difference given to context.

Almost nobody predicted Benzema would be this good as the main goalscorer after his underwhelming 2017-18 season.

Really wish he was on 62 goals instead, that Atletico goal was terrible in hindsight.

Benzema is now joint 4th highest scorer in UCL-history with Rul.
And Benzema never took a single penalty or free-kick in all of his 71 UCL-goals.
His UCL-stats compared to Messi/Cristiano/Raul/Lewy are awesome.

If he came here he would have been amazing with Messi. For a guy his age and position his work rate is tremendous.

2013 Real had to decide whether they sell higuain or benzema. They have decided for GOATzema. Well decided.
