Real Madrid recorded a comfortable 7-0 home win over Malaga on Thursday evening and French striker Karim Benzema played an important role in los Blancos’ win by netting a brace, earning praise from coach Jose Mourinho in the process.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese acknowledged the former Olympique Lyonnais star’s recent improvement on the pitch, and offered positive words in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n

“Karim Benzema is playing much better in recent weeks. He is a completely different player from the footballer he was when I arrived,” Mourinho was quoted as saying on the official Madrid website.<\/p>\n

“He is much more solid, and stronger both physically and mentally. He played very well tonight and was dynamic. I liked him a lot.<\/p>\n

“I knew what Emmanuel Adebayor could do before he arrived here. I knew how he played and I knew what he could bring to the team. Having two centre forwards available gives you the chance of using one or the other depending on the game.”<\/p>\n

Madrid closed the gap to league leaders Barcelona back to seven points courtesy of their emphatic victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
