Karim Benzema has followed up with a brace in La Liga after scoring a hat-trick against PSG in the Champions League. Thanks to the Frenchman, Real Madrid clearly won 3-0 (0-0) at RCD Mallorca on Monday evening.
Real Madrid remain the measure of all things in the Spanish Primera División and are still in first place, ten points ahead of city rivals Atlético.
Once again the outstanding player on the Royal side was Karim Benzema, who played Vinícius Júnior’s opening goal (55th) and then scored two goals himself (76th, 82nd).
Benzema’s goals made him France’s top scorer. The centre-forward scored his 412th and 413th goals in a club or international game, beating Thierry Henry (411). In Real Madrid shirt, Benzema increased his tally to 311 goals, having previously struck 66 for Olympique Lyon and 36 for France.
Former national player Toni Kroos and ex-Bayern professional David Alaba were on the pitch for more than 90 minutes. Mallorca remains in acute danger of relegation due to the home defeat. Coach Luis García’s team is 16th in the table and only has two points more than the 18th in the table. Cadiz.
