Benzema, however, showed his class late in the game, restoring Madrid's lead by heading in a Dani Carvajal cross before rounding off the victory by finishing off a rapid counterattack in added time. The coach was asked if his compatriot was the best French striker ever after the game and he had no doubts. "For me he is the best, because he has spent so long at Real Madrid and he keeps proving himself," Zidane told a news conference. But Zidane still ranked him above the likes of France greats Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet and current players Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe. He is not a pure number nine, he doesn't just think about scoring goals and that's what I love about him," Zidane added.
