There just seems to be an inevitability about Zinedine Zidane losing his job at some point over the next few weeks. It’s almost like the board are waiting for one more bad result to justify giving him the boot.

Karim Benzema is often underrated as you don’t think of him as a truly elite striker, but this goal puts him level on strikes with Lionel Messi this calendar year.

It’s a nice build up but his header is fantastic. He’s moving away from goal and needs to get it over the keeper, it’s just perfectly placed as it loops back across goal:
