What's happening with Higuaín and Benzema?


Real Madrid attacking trio in purple, Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuaín, in 2013

Real Madrid has been struggling in quite a few areas this season, but one of the biggest unpuzzled mysteries lies precisely in the attacking department, where Gonzalo Higuaínand Karim Benzema have been far from delivering what is expected from both of them. At this point of Real Madrid's campaign, it urges to ask ourselves what has really changed from last season that could help explaining such a big difference on these two players...


While Cristiano Ronaldo keeps raising the standard on his Real Madrid journey, other players seem to have slowed down considerably from last season to this one. The most prominent cases have necessarily to do with Karim Benzema andGonzalo Higuaín's disappointing form this year, which has been forcing theMerengues to depend massively on Ronaldo's superb goal-scoring capabilities. So far, most of the consequences have only been visible in Real Madrid's poor campaign in La Liga, precisely the competition where consistency and regularity are key factors for achieving success. The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are right around the corner and even though half world expects for Ronaldo to put his name on the scoresheet against GalatasarayHiguaín or Benzema's contribution with goals, can very well turn out to be decisive.
