Marca publishes today in its front page an interview with Karim Benzema in which Real Madrid’s striker admits he “understands Bernabeu’s jeering”.
The French international was booed by a section of the crowd during last Sunday’s game against Getafe. “I understand it. I’m the first to be disappointed when I don’t score”, he said.
Benzema missed a number of clear shots to score in Real’s 4-1 victory over their regional rivals. His team-mates gave him their support and asked the fans to cheer.
“He has scored four goals and delivered three assists. After Ronaldo and Isco, he is the player with the best statistics”, Marca reports.
Both Madrid sports newspapers also bring to their front pages Gareth Bale’s injury. Marca claims the Welshman “will be ready to face Atletico”, while As is more conservative and affirms “the doctors will try to get him fit for the Madrid derby”.
As also highlights that Iker Casillas trained with his team-mates for the first time since his injury against Galatasaray and will start against Copenhagen in the Champions League.
