After scoring a hat-trick against Chelsea on Wednesday, the striker is in the finest form of his career.Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is playing like one of the best players in football history, according to Rennes coach Bruno Genesio.
The 34-year-old is in the finest form of his career, with a hat-trick against Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday bringing his season total to 37 goals in 36 games.
His form, on the other hand, does not surprise Genesio, who believes he is on par with Johan Cruyff, who is regarded as one of the finest players to ever grace the game.
What's been said sCruyff became one of the game's most important figures after winning three European Cups in a row and leading the Netherlands to the World Cup final.
"It's not like we realized he was one of the best in the world yesterday, "Genesio remarked.
"For me, he's one of the best players in the game's history, on par with Cruyff or similar players.
"Beyond his ambitions, his game intelligence speaks the most about his quality. It's everything he does, everything he moves, everything he decides. This season, Benzema has scored the most goals in La Liga.
He has 24 goals in the Spanish top division, which puts him 10 goals ahead of Getafe's Enes Una.Further more with 11 assists, Benzema leads La Liga's assist chart.
With 11 goals from eight games this season, he is one goal behind Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski in the Champions League scoring standings.
