Genius or fluke? Karim Benzema controls ball with his BACK before scoring for Real Madrid | OneFootball
Karim Benzema has been one of Real Madrid’s most in-form players in recent times, and he produced another moment of magic last night against Mallorca.
It’s not clear if he meant it or not, but Benzema controlled the ball with his back, which ended up setting himself up perfectly for the shot that led to his goal in this La Liga clash.

Real Madrid ended up thrashing Mallorca 6-1, with Benzema scoring twice, while Marco Asensio hit a hat-trick.
