Match report

Real Madrid chief Butragueno full of praise for in-form Benzema

By Frank Henriksen

Real Madrid chief Emilio Butragueno feels they're now seeing the best of Karim Benzema.

The French striker is finding his best form this month.

Butragueno said: "He is very elegant and this is something people really like. It was very enjoyable to see him play. Besides, he looked very comfortable from the start, inspired and at ease. Everything he did had a purpose and he did it very effectively."

"Our fixture list until Christmas has some very tough matches and we have to win practically all of them, so it is very important to get the injured players back. The fact that Karim has come back with this level of form allows us to be optimistic."
