Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who is rated at £45m by Transfermarkt, scored both of his side’s goals in their 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night that ensured that they reached the final of the Champions League, and Arsenal fans were quick to have their say on the Frenchman’s performance.
The Gunners have been almost continually linked with a move for the 30-year-old over the years, but a deal to bring him to the Emirates Stadium has never materialised.
The centre-forward’s brace against Bayern was a rare highlight for the France international in what has been a disappointing campaign in terms of goalscoring for the La Liga giants – he has only found the net 11 times in 42 appearances in all competitions.
Arsenal supporters, who are desperate on Twitter for Santi Cazorla to return before the end of the season, took to social media to give their thoughts on Benzema’s latest display, and while one said “Arsenal, please sign Benzema”, another said “Benzema playing like he wants to go to Arsenal in the summer”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
