With 44 goals to his name this season, Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is in red hot form. And former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia is convinced that Benzema will be too hot to handle for Liverpool in the blockbuster UEFA Champions League (UCL) final at the Stad de France in Paris on Saturday. 

“This is Karim Benzema’s final. The way he has carried the team throughout the tournament has been fantastic. I hope he can carry that form into the final and possibly even score the winning goal for Real Madrid,” Bhutia, 45, replied to a question from mid-day during a media interaction by the Sony Sports Network.
