Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui says he can take no credit for the changing fortunes of Karim Benzema in front of goal, but believes his striker can net up to 40 goals this year.
"The merit is his. He is a great player, I haven't changed anybody," Lopetegui told a news conference after Benzema scored twice as Real Madrid beat Leganes 4-1 at the Bernabeu on Saturday night.
Benzema has scored four goals in three league games this year to lead the scoring charts and Lopetegui says there is no reason why he can't stay there for the rest of the year.
