Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane heaped praise on Karim Benzema after the striker's hat trick earned his side a comfortable 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
After a dour first half bereft of any meaningful chances, the 31-year-old opened the scoring two minutes after the restart and then stole the headlines with two further strikes.
With 25 goals the Frenchman is the club's runaway top scorer this season, yet still many supporters are still divided on Benzema's ability.
Karim Benzema has netted just his second hat-trick in La Liga for Real Madrid:
Dec 2015: u26bdufe0fu26bdufe0fu26bdufe0f
Apr 2019: u26bdufe0fu26bdufe0fu26bdufe0f
His first top-flight treble in 1218 days.
