#8 Karim Benzema (France, Real Madrid)
Goals Scored: 4
The Frenchman endured a tough time last season. He finished with just 12 goals from 47 games in all competitions, including just 5 goals from 32 games in the league. It resulted in his exclusion from the French National Team that took part in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and returned as World Champions. His wretched goal scoring form certainly cost him a World Cup winner’s medal.
Benzema seems to have taken the cue and has returned from the summer with renewed determination and desire. As a result, he has already scored 5 goals from 10 games in all competitions so far.
He scored his first goal in the La Liga this season with a penalty against Girona in the 52nd minute. He scored again in the game, in the 80th minute, as Real comfortably won with a 4-1 scoreline. He continued his superb goal scoring form in the game against Leganes, scoring another brace. Since then, however, Benzema has failed to score in the last 4 games in the league and has not scored in 6 games in all competitions since the start of September.
With 4 goals from 7 games in the league so far, Benzema is ranked 8th in the race to the Golden Boot at the start of October.
