Karim Benzema is in the best form of his career with Madrid, having already scored 44 goals in as many games in all competitions this season. As a result, Antonio Rudiger, who will be joining Real Madrid next season, hailed Benzema as the best striker in the world.
The Germany international believes the Real Madrid striker has an “incredible” understanding of the game. Ahead of his move to the Los Blancos, the hard-tackling German guardsman could not hide his admiration of the red-hot Benzema.
“How long has he been at Madrid now, 12 years? That says it all.” Rudiger told DAZN. “He also had lows and times when he really wanted to leave, but he stayed and it shows how strong his character is.”
“Also the thing with the French national team: He is no longer called up and meanwhile wins four Champions League titles. Chapeau what he achieves. Since Cristiano Ronaldo’s gone, you see his real worth. For me, he is currently the best striker. He has everything, his understanding of the game is incredible,” he added.
