Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano was delighted with Karim Benzema's brace in their victory over Tenerife.

"He is showing his quality. He's scored three goals in five games. Goals are very deserving of a great striker. We cannot forget he is 20 years of age and must accept some inconsistency, but certainly he will give us much joy this year," said Valdano.

Kaka also struck and Valdano added: "He's an unusual player. He gives the team a quality seal. He has a major change of pace and gives us more options in front of goal."
