Zidane hails hat-trick hero Benzema as world’s best nine:
Benzema’s treble took him to 21 La Liga goals for the season, moving him to second in the scoring charts behind Lionel Messi and gave him 30 in all competitions.“I know what a player Benzema is, everyone knows it. The number of goals he’s scoring is incredible,” said Zidane. “I’m made up for him.
“He is confident, he knows you can always improve too, which is great. It doesn’t surprise me what he’s doing.” Bale has been omitted by Zidane from the starting eleven in in the club’s last two La Liga games, starting just one of the last four, and is without a goal in six games. Zidane said he did not understand why the fans behaved like this towards him, especially as they applauded Isco, who came on the field at the same time.
