The goal is almost certain in tomorrow’s derby. The best scorers in the history of the league who are still active in the tournament on the pitch at the Bernabéu are listed: Karim Benzema in the white shirt, Luis Suarez with the rank. They added between them 377 goals in the Spanish League. Two predators from the region navigating the equator in their 30s, are the references for their respective teams.
Benzema, 33 (he will complete 34 on Sunday 19), has mutated since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. He has gone from being a luxury assistant, the best partner of the Portuguese, to a 9 Decisive for his team, with 104 goals in the last three and a half years. He has surpassed Santillana to become the fourth leading scorer in the club’s history. He already has 296 goals in a Madrid shirt, and is within reach of 307 with Di Stefano, which would lift the French to the white podium, behind Raul (323) and Cristiano himself (450).
In the 2019-20 season, he was able to put the finishing touches on the cake in the 34th league. Scoring 21 goals he flirted with Pichichi which Messi finally shot, in a pulse in the distance that he survived until the last day. Benzema aspires to achieve this season. In the last three tournaments, he has surpassed 20 goals. It is also an obstacle to overcome in this edition of the tournament. Al-Assad leads the league’s top scorer with 12 goals, ahead of his colleague Vinicius, who has 10 goals, and Juanmi 9.
If he continues his current scoring rhythm, he could shoot up to 31. If he reaches that number, he will be placed as the seventh all-time leading scorer in the league (now the 10th), ahead of Cesar (221), Quini (218) and Bahino (212). ). up to date, Benzema has 204 goals in the first division s His career best in the same season is the 24 he scored in 2015-16, as well as with Ancelotti on the bench.
Atlético scored 6 goals in 36 matches. His attendance tomorrow is subject to the results of the tests that he will undergo on Saturday. Yesterday, Friday, he returned to training on his own and will not take any risks. The white scorer will only play if he is 100% fit.
‘9’ Defender
Luis Suarez, on the other hand, trained yesterday with the group. But, like Benzema, he is awaiting the final test today. He was one of the architects of the league title. He scored 21 goals in the last tournament. He scored them in 32 matches. This season he scored another seven goals in 15 league games, scoring nearly half a goal per game. It is not certain that Suarez will start against Madrid, but whether he starts or if he leaves with the start of the match, he will be one of Atletico’s offensive weapons. Suarez injured against Porto and arrives between the cottons. Against Real Madrid, you already know what it means to score in an Atletico shirt. Last year, he made the score 1-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. He is excited to face Real Madrid: he has already lived through the classics against the Madrid team.
The Uruguayan is one of the historical players in La Liga, having scored 173 goals (16) and 28 in his red and white shirt.. Suarez had a somewhat erratic season and did not reach last year’s performance. He needs a great match and it could be against Madrid.
The Uruguayan was the only one who was able to break Cristiano-Messi’s monopoly on Pichichi’s record in the last 12 years. Without the Portuguese or the Argentines, Benzema now aspires to succeed Suarez on the list of “people” who have won him. All at the expense of their own tests.
