Karim Benzema, Isco, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale all found the net as Los Blancos cruised to victory on Saturday, with the Frenchman in inspired form.
Karim Benzema appeared unaffected by France snubbing him for Euro 2016 as he scored and provided two assists in Real Madrid ‘s 5-1 Liga win against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
The French Football Federation confirmed on Wednesday Benzema would not play a part in the European Championship on home soil this year due to his involvement in an ongoing legal investigation into an alleged plot to blackmail Lyon midfielder Mathieu Valbuena, and he wasted no time in reminding the decision makers of what they would be missing.
The 28-year-old produced a brilliant display to help Zinedine Zidane’s side follow up on their Champions League quarter-final victory over Wolfsburg by piling the pressure on Liga leaders Barcelona – who entertain Valencia on Sunday – by closing the gap at the top to one point.
