The Real Madrid team led by Carlos Ancelotti has managed to beat Rayo Vallecano this Saturday 2 goals to 1. However, the whites have suffered in the last minutes of games and that is how the visitors were very close to getting the tie in the Santiago Bernabéu.

The Italian coach Ancelotti planned a match with Camavinga in the middle of the field, the whites were able to play 70 minutes of a very good game until the 76th minute came Radamel Falcao's discount, which would make the game become much more intense.

Rayo believed that it was possible to tie Real Madrid and took advantage of the fatigue of most of the white players to try to get a draw that was very close to the end of the game and if it were not for Toni Kroos and Courtois who managed to avoid it.

To all of these, the Real Madrid coach said the following after suffering at the end of the game "Anything can happen in football, we have had many chances, even for 3-0 and I think the victory is deserved."

"I am very happy with the game, when they score you a goal you can think that you can get another, it is all a mental matter, but in football you always suffer. We have played very well" added the Italian coach in what which was his 100th victory at Real Madrid.

The transformation of Karim Benzema

Benzema captain and scorer of the team

So far, the star of the season for Real Madrid is Vinicius, who participated in the team's first goal, came very close to scoring one and participated in Benzema's goal play, who made it 2-0 for the whites. Benzema had a goal disallowed and wasted three clear scoring chances.

The lack of goal effectiveness of the Real Madrid players allowed Rayo to dream of an agonizing draw in the final minutes of the match, so Carlos Ancelotti's men suffered in the end. The French striker scored a goal and had three very clear chances.

Benzema has had a very key transformation in this team, especially in recent seasons. For nine seasons, the Frenchman was Cristiano Ronaldo's best assistant, who was largely responsible for the hundred of the 450 goals of the Portuguese striker with Real Madrid.

But now the Frenchman has gone from being an assistant to a scorer of the team, so at this moment he enjoys the assists of Asensio, Vinicius, Alaba and many other colleagues who grant him the balls so that he can demonstrate all his scoring ability.

Vinicius and Asensio were in charge of building the play of the first goal for Toni Kroos to shoot. Later Alaba gave the assistance for Benzema to score the second, the French striker looking for his first top scorer. After this goal, everyone present at the Bernabéu chanted his name and asked for the Ballon d'Or for him.

Benzema one of the best footballers of today

Benzema among the best in the world

The French forward has one of the best numbers in Europe this season ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. So far he has managed to add fourteen goals and at the age of 33 he wants to get his first top scorer trophy in the Spanish league where he already has ten goals.

This season has become the perfect course for Karim Benzema to get the scorer's trophy, taking advantage of the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo for several seasons and now that of Lionel Messi, the top scorer's trophy owner.

To all this, Carlos Ancelotti points out the following about the cat "Karim is like wine, the more year it has the better it is" Benzema is right now the biggest reference of the white team, the desire that is seen in the field of play excites everyone the team and its audience. Run after the ball from the beginning to the end of the game like a teenager.

He is constantly pushing to steal the ball thanks to that great physical power that he has and that he has achieved after a great job at home. He feels like a better footballer now that he is 30 years old than when he was 25 and was the shadow of CR7.

After living a decade behind the Portuguese star, now the Frenchman is heading towards 300 goals at Real Madrid and becoming one of the best in the world and the maximum benchmark for whites. Benzema is on track to reach 308 goals from Di Stéfano and 323 from Raúl to become the second top scorer in the club's 119 years.

Vinicius his great help

The almost perfect combination

Without a doubt, the Brazilian's exploitation this season has been a great help for Benzema. Vinicius is in charge of breaking the waistlines of rival defenses, and he is the one who finishes off.

Vinicius was very marked against Rayo Vallecano, so it was difficult for him to show his football, but despite this he managed to overflow in the team's first goal. This type of action has made Benzema play more than nine to try to take advantage of the depths of Vini Jr, who is considered the sensation of the season.

Karim has become much more selfish with the shot, he almost always wants to finish them, this is due to his ambition to win the top scorer title and continue scoring goals, quite the opposite of his time with Cristiano Ronaldo, where all his plays had to finish for him.

It has been seen that Karim Benzema asks for the ball and shoots despite the fact that on many occasions he has a better placed teammate to do it. But these are the goalscorer's delusions and that the Bernabéu asked him so much when he arrived and that he is now showing it. If you want to be the best you have to focus on your goals and that's what he is doing right now.

Benzema's greatest dream is to win the Ballon d'Or and the top scorer in the Spanish championship. The first objective does not depend on him but on the voters, so it is quite subjective, while the second objective if he has them in his boots and in what Real Madrid generates.

Against Rayo, Benzema lost the opportunity to increase his scoring figure with the mistakes he had and without Vinicius he was not overly selfish as he did in some plays. Both forwards have a lot of desire to score, so in some plays they tend to refuse the steps to try to score.

Both are aware that they are two of the best forwards in La Liga, so they have some selfish problems that do not allow them to become the perfect combination and that are only seen in some games.

One of Madrid's perfect combinations was the goal in the play where Mendy and Vini Jr hit two heels and the nine shot over the crossbar for what was going to be a real goal. Camavinga, who started, played a very good game and also gave the Frenchman good passes.

Asensio also assisted the cat with two passes, but the white striker could not change for a goal. Madrid's play with two objectives, Vinicius' dribbling and Benzema's shot. The cat could have scored two or three goals against Rayo, but his lack of aim this time did not allow it.

Karim Benzema was substituted at the end of the match and won the second standing ovation of the night from the Madrid crowd. He was replaced by Hazard who is looking for new sensations in the team.

The Belgian does not find his place in the white attack led by the French and the Brazilian. So every time for Ancelotti the Belgian no longer counts, or he no longer needs it. While Benzema despite his 33 years is right now a very complete player who scores goals, helps in the center of the field, defends and likes to ask for the ball.
