Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema set an unwanted record on Wednesday night as he missed two penalties in his side's win over Osasuna.
The Frenchman has been in stunning form this season and is an early contender to win this year's Ballon d'Or title. He is in the best goalscoring form of his career with 39 goals and counting – the best of his career - including a quickfire second half hat-trick which eliminated Paris Saint-Germain in a remarkable Champions League Round of 16 comeback described as "magic" by home boss Carlo Ancelotti before bagging another treble against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge at the quarter final stage.
Goals from David Alaba, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez secured a 3-1 win for Ancelotti’s side at Osasuna on Wednesday night but it could and should have been more for Madrid, who are on the brink of being crowned champions of Spain. Sergio Herrera was Osasuna's hero between the posts, twice thwarting Benzema from the penalty spot in the space of seven minutes.
