Gary Lineker has cast his view on Karim Benzema, dismissing the French striker as 'overrated' as Tottenham Hotspur held Real Madrid to a draw in the Champions League.

Gary Lineker pulls no punches on Benzema

Benzema did not have any joy in front of goal at the Bernabéu. He missed a clear opportunity after Cristiano Ronaldo hit the post, and was denied at point-blank range by Hugo Lloris.

"Is it me or is Benzema a tad overrated," Lineker tweeted, "a goal every other game in a team as strong as Real Madrid is nada especial. Decent not great."

The 56-year-old scored 48 goals in 128 goals across a three-season spell at Camp Nou.
