Real Madrid continues to win, barely, but still collects the full pot time and time again.
Tonight it recorded its fourth consecutive victory, beating Athletic Bilbao 1: 3 in a home game.
It was not an easy game, and after leading 0-1 from a Tony Cross goal, she conceded an equalizer in the 52nd minute (Under Capa) and had a hard time finding the opponent's goal, which from the 13th minute was left with ten players.
But, in the final twenty minutes of the game, including injury time, Krim Benzema went into action.
He scored a double that secured the three points and calmed the Blancos' tight system.
Immediately after the game the compliments started to flow.
The most prominent of them all came from his coach Zinedine Zidane who said: "He is the best French striker of all time. It is clear."
Benzema, who has reached ten league goals this season, said: "It was a game where patience was the key word. That patience makes us strong."
