Karim Benzema is trending on social media after scoring a brilliant goal during Real Madrid training in Los Angeles.
The Frenchman plucked a high ball out of the sky before lifting it over his opponent and then finishing ruthlessly clinically.
Benzema, who missed the 1-0 defeat to Barcelona on Sunday, is set to feature against Club America on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Eden Hazard has backed Benzema to win the Ballon d’Or this year.
Benzema finished as top goalscorer in the La Liga and Champions League with 44 goals and 15 assists in 46 games.
“I think he deserves it. You know, there’s no doubt about it,” Hazard told ESPN.
“But I think he deserves it not just for that season, but for his whole career, you know? It’s like he’s been at the top for 15 years.
“Maybe he’s scoring more goals, which is why people just want him to win this Ballon d’Or, but I think he deserved it before, like five years ago.
“He’s our captain now and he’s also, like, a really good guy, you know? He’s not talking that much on the pitch, doing what he wants.
“He’s our leader. So, we just pushed him to go for the Ballon d’Or.”
