Benzema should be kept aside

This is the reason why a lot of people in the Madrid fan base want Zidane out. The Frenchman’s love for his compatriot has perhaps breached the limits and it is now at a level where it can be deemed as unhealthy.

The former Lyon man has scored only 5 times from 20 games this season and wasn’t really great in Madrid’s double-winning season as well, scoring 19 goals from 48 games—something that is not up to the mark for a striker who plays for Real Madrid.

Granted, he could have had better statistics if he didn’t have to serve Cristiano Ronaldo, but the way he misses chances is something that infuriates the fans. These days, his passing has also been lackluster—something that his fans use as in their defence—and Real Madrid really need someone more effective to play instead of him.
