what you refuse to remember is that he scored 12 goals the season before in the CL. when was the last time someone has done that, bar Messi/Ronaldo? you also forget that he was injured for most part of the 1st half of 2012/13 season, which Mandzukic used perfectly and got in the starting 11. and besides that, when he recovered form injury, he still scored tons of goals whenever he was used and was their 2nd goalscorer just behind Mandzukic who also played a lot more. and how do you know he wouldnt fit into Reals system? they wanted to buy him, for what if he doesent fit them? for fun? Ancelotti wanted him, otherwise they woudlnt offer for him. they offered more than Fiorentina and he refused to join them. he is definetly a better player than Benzema and he has shown that on the field in the last few seasons...
