Karim Benzema might have been Real Madrid’s plan B to succeed Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann might have been Barcelona’s plan B in place of Neymar Junior, Reale Arena might have been Martin Odegaard’s plan B away from Santiago Bernabeu; but the “B” in these plan Bs could spell “Better” as much as “Backup”.

Player rating: 8.99
Individual highlights: 1 goal, 1 assist
Team result: Celta 1–3 Real Madrid
"
Karim Benzema is probably a harder worker than all of us.
Being a starter at Real Madrid for ten years, not many players have done that. Despite everything that has been said about him he's still there, he’s working hard, he’s shutting people up."
—Jeremy Menez on Karim Benzema being the most successful of France's Generation 87
12’ A goal made by Gareth Bale, who’s work out wide and pull back allows Karim Benzema to poke home. Season account open✅
[0-1]#MMLive— Managing Madrid (@managingmadrid) August 17, 2019
80’ What can anyone do to stop that? A move involving world class instigative touches by Marcelo, Isco and Benzema is finished off by Vázquez. Real Madrid at their very best!
