2. Karim Benzema’s overhead kick (min. 3:35)

This has to be one of the best goals Karim has ever scored for Real Madrid.

This was another classic goal on the counter as Marcelo fed Kaka onto the right wing who saw Benzema and Ronaldo making their runs towards the box and put in a picture-perfect cross which Benzema scored perfectly.

Putting in a performance like this at Ajax’s own stadium was a big thing. It was a blessing watching Kaka and Ronaldo together, two of the very best players in the world in one team accompanied by a young Benzema.

Benzema struck it with such precision and power it just went through the hands of the Ajax keeper who was shocked himself watching the attempt.
