Creates two chances in UCL win Benzema made three clearances and created two chances in Saturday's 1-0 Champions League Final victory against Liverpool. Impact Benzema had a quiet game on Saturday, but that will not take away from his impact in this surprisingly successful Real Madrid campaign. He scored a career-high 27 goals and 12 assists in 32 La Liga appearances -- finishing first and second in the league standings in those respective categories -- and then added 15 more goals in the Champions League, 10 of them coming in the knockout rounds. The 34-year-old is currently the front-runner for the 2022 Ballon D'Or award, but there's still plenty to come in the calendar year, including a World Cup with France in November.
