#3 Karim Benzema
French International Karim Benzema is gradually reviving his career this season having failed to reach his peak in each of the past few campaigns and falling under intense scrutiny for his mediocre performances during those years.
Following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo who left for Juventus this summer, the striker has realised that he needs to step up and take up more goal-scoring responsibilities, and he has impressed so far, bagging an incredible 4 goals for Real Madrid in 4 LaLiga appearances.
The UEFA Champions League represents another huge opportunity for Benzema to prove his amazing abilities once again. Whether he would be able to transfer his decent form into the European tournament remains to be seen, but with his spectacular record in front of goal so far this term, he is one of the few players that Roma must be wary of when they clash in the Champions League this evening.
