Real Madrid directors are delighted with the current form of Karim Benzema.

Benzema struck twice for Saturday's 2-1 win over Eibar as he continues his run of career best form.

And it's being achieved as he prepares to celebrate tens years with Real.

A board room source told Marca: "They have been criticising him for everything for ten years and he is the best."

Real coach Zinedine Zidane also said after the Eibar win: "Now you look at him more because he scores goals, but the best Benzema has been on the field many times more than you think, for most people it is not like that, but they are wrong."
