Social Zone: Benzema lights up La Liga, and baseball's barking mad fan feature
In Social Zone today, La Liga has a new king after losing Lionel Messi, and baseball has done it again in their quest to make fan-interaction a veritable art form.
SOCCER: That's a very good question, to be fair, Sky Sports! Cheeky from the Manchester United man.

SOCCER: Whisper it very quietly, but Real Madrid are absolutely bossing La Liga this season...
21 - @realmadriden have scored 21 goals in six games in @LaLigaEN 2021/2022, their best total at this stage since the 1987/1988 season (26 goals). Overwhelming. pic.twitter.com/6foTm2Sti9

SOCCER: If you had to guess who had the singularly most impressive start to a La Liga season this century, would you opt for Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
15 - @realmadriden's Karim @Benzema 🇫🇷 has been directly involved in 15 goals in @LaLigaEN 2021/22 (eight goals and seven assists), the best start in goal involvement of any player after the first six league games of the campaign in the 21st century. Extraordinary. pic.twitter.com/kj8evO0U8Q
