The impact of Real Madrid's victory over Lyon in the Champions League Round of 16 continues.
Chen Zhong's performance, averaging 2-3 goals in recent matches, makes teams that regard Real Madrid as potential competitors feel like they're sitting on pins and needles.
Benzema's substitution appearance against Lyon made some people exclaim "Wow!". Ever since he was involved in last season's "PC Gate" scandal, his luck and form have been affected. But now he's back on track, shedding his lazy demeanor, truly posing a threat.
Mourinho has a famous theory called the "Cat and Dog Theory."
Higuain and the substitute Adebayor are dogs, while Benzema is a lazy cat.
With Negredo's departure and Higuain's injury, Real Madrid's forward line-up leans more towards a 4-4-2 formation that allows Benzema to perform.
In La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema have both played center forward roles. After Adebayor joined in early February, the Togolese forward quickly became a mainstay.
