He decided to play because even though he’s far from top physical condition, Ancelotti only relies on the sparks he can have. But, The performance of the 35-year-old striker was once again disappointing.. He was out of rhythm, impetuous, and unable to relate to his teammates. Real Madrid lost the League at the Camp Nou and they need the best version of Benzema to not miss the Champions League, the only trophy that will preserve the status quo for Ancelotti and his group.
