The Madrid Media’s criticism of him was particularly “harsh”. Karim Benzema for his performance in the Clasico, where Real were beaten 2-1 by Barcelona for its 26th matchday La Liga.
The difference between the two teams has increased to 12 points, which means that the Blaugrana are the absolute favorites to win the league, with the Madrid media giving a large share of responsibility to the playing image of the captain of the “Queen”.
In particular, “As” rated Benzema’s performance with 0/10 (!) writing: “Invisible again. Nothing. He is… miles away from the good performances that won him the Ballon d’Or. We see him without rhythm, slowly. If Real get Benzema again, then they will have a treasure again. Rating: 0/10“, says the publication in question.

As can be easily seen, 0/10 was the worst rating that any player got among those who competed in both teams. However, the ‘As’ were tough on the rest of Real’s players as well after rating their ‘2’ Luka Modric and Dani Carvajal and with their “3”. Federico Valverde and Ferlan Mendy.
