Real Madrid will face Levante on Matchday 5 this Sunday afternoon. Here are three players who could be the Man of the Match.
After beating Real Betis and Real Valladolid by one goal each, Real Madrid will want to have a more convincing display on Sunday afternoon at Levante before they head off to the international break. But mostly, with key players like Eden Hazard, Dani Carvajal, and Toni Kroos out with injuries, they’ll just want to pick up a third straight victory.
Here are three players who could be the Man of the Match en route to another three points.
Real Madrid ST Karim Benzema
We haven’t seen the best of Karim Benzema to start the 2020-2021 La Liga season. He struggled against Real Sociedad, played well against Real Betis but still missed a few easy chances, and then was quite poor on Wednesday vs. Real Valladolid.
Benzema is a lot better than this. He is, in fact, the best striker in La Liga and showed it last season as arguably the league’s most valuable player. Benzema needs to step up his game against Levante on Sunday and play like he did against them last September when he scored a brace, as compared to in February when he struggled en route to the team being shut out in an upset loss.
