Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
Karim Benzema does not let go of Robert Lewandowski. While the Pole had scored twice with Barça against Valladolid in the 7:30 p.m. match (4-0 victory for the Blaugrana), Karim Benzema did the same at 10 p.m. However, everything was badly embarked on the 88th minute of play, the Merengue were still hooked by Espanyol Barcelona. But thanks to a real striker goal (88th) then a direct free kick (90 + 10th) against Leandro Cabrera who had put on the goalkeeper’s outfit for the last occasion, he too saw double.
Benzema, 14 years later
A double, nothing too unusual for the French striker, but a free kick achievement, yes. Indeed, he had never scored a single goal in this area during his first 608 games with the White House! You had to go back to April 2008 and a match with Olympique Lyonnais against Caen to see him score a similar goal, an eternity!
A historic goal for Nueve

to summarize
Karim Benzema scored the first direct free kick of his career in a Real Madrid shirt yesterday on La Liga matchday three against Espanyol. We had to go back to 2008 to see a goal from Benzema on a free kick.
