Karim Benzema’s incredible hat-trick was completed with a stunning bicycle kick in the 36th minute, capping off an extraordinary display of skill.
Madrid’s dominance was such that they had already scored four goals by halftime, with Rodrygo adding another goal to Benzema’s hat-trick.
The first-half performance left no doubt as to who would emerge victorious from the match, with Madrid cruising to a comfortable win.
Can Madrid still win La Liga?
Even though Real Madrid displayed an impressive performance, it seems unlikely that they will be able to defend their La Liga title this season.
Despite their dominance in the match against Valladolid, Madrid currently trails behind other strong contenders for the title, and will need to maintain their winning form throughout the remainder of the season to have a chance at retaining the championship.
Real Madrid, led by Carlo Ancelotti, faces a significant challenge in their pursuit of the La Liga title this season, as they are currently 12 points behind Barcelona in the standings.
After the match on Sunday, Madrid will have played the same number of games as their rivals, leaving them with little margin for error in the remaining fixtures of the season.
Despite this, Madrid fans remain optimistic that their team can close the gap and challenge for the championship.
Benzema’s form this season
Despite the challenges faced by Real Madrid in their pursuit of the La Liga title, Karim Benzema, the team’s star striker, remains in contention for the prestigious Golden Boot award.
Prior to the match, Benzema had scored 14 goals in the league, but following his remarkable hat-trick against Valladolid, he has now caught up with Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski, both now having scored 17 goals in the league.
Benzema’s impressive performance and goal-scoring ability have once again established him as one of the top strikers in world football.
Although Karim Benzema has faced injury issues this season and has not been as prolific as he was in the previous season, he still remains one of the most lethal finishers in football.
His recent stunning hat-trick against Valladolid is a testament to this, and with 11 more games remaining in the La Liga season, it is possible that he will score more goals and add to his tally.
Despite his age of 35, Benzema’s incredible skills and goal-scoring ability make him a crucial player for Real Madrid as they strive to win titles this season.
