Who is better benzema or falcao

And if you compare Benzema's campaign with Falcao's last season in Madrid from a statistical standpoint, it's clear that the Colombian would compete with Real's attacking stars rather than complement them, likely upsetting the balance at the Bernabeu in the process.

Lamentably, president Perez has shown a habit for disregarding cohesion in his quest for unparalleled glamour. A decade ago, David Beckham was an unnecessary purchase. The acquisition of James Rodriguez this summer can be considered the same. The concept of common sense—perhaps not as common as we're led to believe—has never infiltrated the current president's office. Ancelotti, however, has clearly outlined his position, clearly backing Benzema to play a key role in Real Madrid's European title defence, understanding the Frenchman's compatibility with the team's other stars.

And finally, Marco Asensio is lethargic on the ball who performs well once in a blue moon, the hat-trick against Mallorca for example. Thus, it is natural that all the good things about this Real Madrid team have been concentrated more on these two consistent performers.

Now, moving to the more compelling reasons. First things first, the data never lies! When you talk about Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior as a duo you are straight-away staring at 23 goals and 13 assists in 16 games in all competitions this season, per WhoScored.

These two have been the best attackers in Europe and they have been piling up the tangible numbers to shut any critics whatsoever. Going beyond the conventional goal contributions, they both have been placing 2. Additionally, Benzema has also been impressive with his cross-field switches via long balls, his average has been a very healthy 1.

But, there is so much more to their play that the stats would never show. The two are absolutely enjoying their football at the moment. Benzema loves to pull to the left to build-up play and every time he does, Vini is always there to be his partner.

They have really complemented each other very well. The comeback performance against Valencia is the perfect example of when these two took matters into their own hands and combined brilliantly to score two late goals to come back from a deficit.

They pulled off another similar feat in the last outing of the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk. Another win at home that featured a Karim Benzema double and both his goals were assisted by none other than Vini. Vini knows he can count on Benzema to finish and he never hesitates to cut back whenever Benzema is in a better position.
