Benzema is elite and always has been. Not sure why he's so underrated.
Far from a classic
VAR is gonna suck a lot of fun out of the game
Liverpool look totally lost without Salah. They're seriously up against it now.
Boooo. Poor game of football.
Salah going out seemed to kill Liverpool.
What an underwhelming first half.

Think Salah's injury killed the match
Saying that, think Manè has been the best player on the pitch
The entire nation of Egypt will be feeling deflated right now

That was dirty Ricky
Didn't look particularly dirty to me
Pretty low key stuff. Pool kept it tight and real didn't produce much going forward
Underwhelming?
The last twenty minutes perhaps, but Liverpool played fantastic in the first twenty minutes. The goal was close but it’s never easy against Ramos and Varane.

His performances and stats outside of his time at Lyon don’t back up that assertion.
Because he is not scoring a lot of goals. But his link up play and creativity is excellent.

Ramos by a mile. Benzema has also been decent along with Manè.
Yes, I'm referring to his intelligence, technique, creativity and teamplay. Poor goalscoring record.

You don't stay this long as Madrid's nr. 1 striker without performing.

He’s basically there to get the best out of Ronaldo. It’s pretty much his sole purpose. When Ronaldo performs as well as he does, why would you risk upsetting things? Doesn’t make Benzema elite though.
Actually looking back at HT, Salah locked his arms around Ramos first. Ah well.
Benzema has defo been elite the last decade. Occasionally weak finishing, but he's the ultimate team player.
Ronaldo is Real’s number one striker. He is good. Very good sometimes, but never “elite”.

I beg to differ, think Madrid realise he's the best striker out there that can get the best out of the team
