Casemiro vs Guti comparison
Real Madrid's crucial 1-0 win over Espanyol came courtesy of a Casemiro goal set up by a magnificent Karim Benzema backheel through the legs of an opposition defender.
The backheel assist immediately threw up memories of Guti's spectacular assist for Benzema himself vs RC Deportivo back in 2009-2010, starting up a debate on social media as to which was better. Guti congratulated the French striker while sharing a photo of the piece of skill from a decade ago that they were involved in together.
