The Frenchman has not been in his best form for a few seasons now. However, Benzema has started off his new 2018-19 season with 4 goals to his name already, one less than the total number of goals he scored last season in La Liga.

Madridistas have lacked respect for the Frenchman though, as he is pretty famous for missing sitters and bottling easy chances. He has not been up to the mark as a striker, but his ability to create plays and set up his teammates is still as good as ever.

Yes, he has lacked efficiency while playing as a sole striker, but what people fail to notice is he is the reason why others get good scoring chances. The Frenchman creates more than he scores, though one can claim it's not his job to create.

Well, this season, he looks set to play as an out and out striker who is going to score a ton of goals by the end of the season, and this makes him a top contender for the Golden Boot 2018-19.
