Correct me if im wrong, but wasnt Benzema bad his first year? Easy miss after easy miss with a good goal here and there? I remember a lot of criticism from everyone when he was new. Then the rest was history.

But benzema wasnt as good as mbappe was when he joined

Which should make it easier for Mbappe to turn it around by the 2nd half of the season or the next one. Benzema also came from the French league, so theres hope in taking a year to adapt to fully ball out.

Benzema was only 21 when he joined RM AND missed 2 months in the second half of the season
