No matter if he arguably was the best player on the pitch, nor the fact hescored a goal, Karim Benzema had his match cut short via substitution once again.
Zinedine Zidane decided to take his compatriot off the pitch after 65 minutes, replacing him for winger Lucas Vazquez.
In the 10 starts he has been awarded in 2016/17 between the Champions League and LaLiga, Benzema was substituted on nine occasions, something that is starting to irk him.
Although he is not prone to being visibly upset after being swapped, he was unable to hide his disappointment this time around.
The 28-year-old stubbornly took his gloves off and did not look at anyone on his way to the bench.
Not only was he substituted, but Benzema also was the first player taken out by Zidane, which only served to increase his frustration.
Real Madrid ended up snatching a 3-3 draw in their visit to Legia Warsaw, so they still need to secure a round of 16 spot.
