In the league. His 'other' goals won you fuck all.
There's a reason why everyone is after The Hig and not The Benz.
Everyone? As I understand this summer, only Juventus and Arsenal have been after Higuain.
The main reason nobody is after Benzema is the same reason why nobody is after Mesut Ozil or Iker Casillas, or Robben, or even Messi. because they all share one thing in common and thats they are UNTOUCHABLE. If Wenger had the luxury to choose between Higuain and Benzema, I guarantee you 100% he would choose Benzema.
He's french, he was after benz when he was at lyon, he even had the chance of signing the Benz back in the season of 2010-11 but Benz said no. Wenger always was a huge fan of Benz...
Anywho Benz is untouchable, Zidane won't allow it, Flo wouldn't allow it. Release clause? Nobody can afford it. was it 250 million or was it 100m? i do not remember his release clause... When Benzema is not for sale, he really is not for sale. PSG learned that last summer.
League goals? Well Benzema sacrifices his game a lot more for cr7 than higuain does. Benzema got 20 assists last season and 13-15 assists the season before that to show for it. Last season being interesting in that Benzema defeated Mesut Ozil for top assist maker of the team. League goals in madrid don't really matter since we got cr7 and he is the main goal scorer and focal point of attack. And most of Benz's assists go towards cr7 scoring those goals. Could he score more, yes he could. But Benzema is much more a team player than Higuain and that is the main difference between the two. Higuain is selfish and funnily enough that gets on CR7's nerves sometimes.
