After a season that brought him very close to the transfer list, Benzema has done this summer some superb games in Real’s T-shirt. He scored six goals in six friendlies, turning in the team’s leading scorer at this time.

Karim Benzema was born on 19 December 1987. He primarily plays as a striker whose influence can extend out to the wings and is known for his technical ability, powerful style of play, and vast goal-scoring ability.

The Frenchman has scored a double in the friendly with Guangzhou, one double with Hertha Berlin and an empty one with each Leicester and LA Galaxy. The first match of the season for Real Madrid Spanish Super Cup will be on August 8, the first round of the double with their old time rivals, Barcelona.

Mourinho and company have taken a rematch after last year’s disastrous season when they lost the Champions League, managing to win only the Spanish Cup yet.

Spanish Primera will be an eye catchy this year because on the two top teams managed to squeeze a third one that got a bunch of good players and hopes to make a stand for the title. Can Malaga manage that? Or will Benzema and company stop them?
