Mr Assistant

Karim Benzema is not a forward that can be measured by how many goals he scores. Although he has put 14 away so far this season, the Frenchman shines more thanks to his generosity out on the pitch.

In the Getafe game, the forward served up his eleventh assist of the season. More than any other of the Real Madrid players has managed this season.

Benzema has become Real's best passer, better even than Kroos with ten assists and Ronaldo with nine. The Portuguese is the man who has most benefitted from Karim's passing skills.

Another great passer at the Coliseum stadium was James, who served up the balls for the last two goals, converted by Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Colombian attacking midfielder has given just one assist less than his French teammate.
