Benzema: I'm a No.9 who has the soul of a No.10 Espanyol vs Real Madrid Discussed his position

The star of the show as Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 4-2 on Sunday night was Karim Benzema, as the Frenchman finished chances and created them.

He himself spoke about his position and explained that he is a different kind of centre-forward.

"I don't know if this was my best match of the season," he said after the match.

"Each match I want to do more and make nice things happen in the play, while also scoring goals, giving assists and doing a bit of everything.

"People ask a striker to score goals, but I think I am a No.9 who has the soul of a No.10."

He also showed his bandaged finger to the cameras during the interview, explaining that there's a need to be committed and to battle through adversity.
