Karim Benzema was tragic in the match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, the first this season in which the current Spanish champion did not win after a series of six triumphs in a row.
The French ace scored a penalty to win in the 79th minute, so the match ended in a draw 1:1, and for Benzema, Osasuna’s goalkeeper, Sergio Herrera, is becoming a real nightmare.
This was the Real Madrid striker’s third missed penalty against Herrera in 2022, and he has only missed five shots from the penalty spot in his career.
Yesterday, Benzama played for Real after a three-game break due to injury, and after a missed penalty in the 79th minute, just 120 seconds later, his goal was disallowed.
The French ace is sure to receive the Ballon d’Or on October 17 at a ceremony in Paris after playing brilliantly last season and being Real’s top scorer and player on the way to the Spanish and European titles.
It is already known that Benzema will convincingly win the prestigious prize of “France Football” as the second footballer of Real Madrid, after Luka Modric in 2018, which at least slightly breaks the dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were winners as many as 12 times in the last 14 years.
