The 22-year-old Brazil prodigy proceeded to use an amazing technique to utterly bamboozle his opponent on the byline.

Rodrygo then stood up and sent the ball back to Benzema, who scored from about eight yards out with no mistake.

After his assist, 'Rodrygo' chants echoed around the Bernabeu, and it's little wonder why.

It was a unique display of talent.

Benzema makes history

Meanwhile, Karim Benzema etched his name in the sands of time with a stunning first-half hattrick against Almeria on Saturday afternoon, surpassing Hugo Sánchez as the fourth-highest scorer in La Lia history.

Prior to his latest milestone, Benzema had failed to score in his last three La Liga matches but effectively snapped his mini goal-scoring drought after just five minutes when he poked home from close range after a splendid effort on the flanks by Vinicius Junior.

He followed up with his personal second after Rodrygo Goes outwitted his marker before setting the Frenchman up, who made no mistake by planting the ball into the bottom corner. Benzema then completed his hat trick with a perfectly taken penalty just before halftime.
