Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari said he feels "sorry" for those only just realising Karim Beznema's brilliance after the Frenchman put in another fine display against Girona on Thursday.
Benzema netted twice in Real's 3-1 win at the Estadi Montilivi that saw Los Blancos ease through their quarter-final Copa del Rey tie 7-3 on aggregate.
The forward has now netted five goals in his last three appearances in all competitions, and Solari was full of praise for him after another fine performance, per Marca:
"I'm sorry for the people who had missed Benzema for all this time.
