As reported by Football Espana, Benzema plucked a high ball out of the sky with a controlled touch, lifted it over his opponent’s head and then smashed it into the back of the net.

The video of the stunning goal has since done the rounds on social media and left many wondering just how the French striker did that.

Benzema will be looking to lead Madrid to another La Liga and Champions League double this coming season and will be hoping to help the side finish strong in pre-season.

Los Blancos lost their first game against Barcelona but still have to face Mexican side Club America before their final game against Juventus on Saturday night.

They then take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Super Cup on August 10 before kicking off their La Liga campaign against Almeria on August 14.

Karim Benzema is against the idea of La Liga champions Real Madrid signing Cristiano Ronaldo once again

Real Madrid are in need of a new striker, but Karim Benzema knows who Los Blancos shouldn’t bring in.

The French striker has been expertly leading the line for the Spanish champions, but Madrid have struggled for goals when their talisman striker hasn’t played.

Los Blancos rejected the thought of signing Ronaldo earlier in the transfer window and Karim Benzema isn’t keen on the idea either.
