Real Madrid's supporters got so used to winning games. But now, they are quick enough to make judgements after a couple of losses.
Celta Vigo ended the team's unbeaten run at the Bernabeu that had lasted for over a year, but one man could have changed the team's luck: Karim Benzema. The French striker was responsible for missing an open-goal chance as the game approached its final stretch, which caused Real Madrid to lose a second game in just a three-day span.
The Les Bleus' outcast will have a chance to redeem himself during the second leg of this Copa del Rey tie, but he will have to endure all sorts of comments about his performance, like the ones you'll find after scrolling down.
Can we all now agree that @Benzema is not the suitable striker for a team like @realmadrid?

I seriously can't believe @AlvaroMorata gets paid to play professional football... oh and @Benzema they're both awful

"What I can't understand is how a player like Benzema has managed to play seven seasons at Real Madrid. The guy isn't good enough to play for Getafe!"
lo que no consigo entender es como un jugador como @Benzema lleva 7 años en el madrid si no vale ni para el getafe que tio mas malo!!!

Benzema gets his revenge by shooting the ball straight to Deschamps having coffee at a cafe on the Champs-Élysées instead of a open net.

"Benzema has been directly involved in Madrid's two consecutive losses, but go on, keep laughing at Alcácer."
Gracias a Benzema el Madrid ha perdido sus dos últimos partidos, pero ehhh madridistas vamos a reírnos de Alcacer

"Benzema missing an open-goal chance. Don't worry, he's used to it."
Benzema ha fallado a puerta vacía, tranquilos, está acostumbrado a males menores.
