Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema summed up his impressions after the victory of his team, and after the placement in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The French striker scored a hat-trick and knocked down PSG, and thus took the victory with the result 3:1.
Benzema became the oldest player in the history of the Champions League with a hat-trick and the third-best scorer in the history of Real.
“We were not good in the first game, while we were better in the second. You saw a different Real Madrid, with high pressure and we stood high in the block. We pushed them, we pressed them. We showed that we are a great team, although PSG is also great, we deserved to go to the quarterfinals. They have world-class players, but they are unsuccessful, they could have given us more goals in the first game “, says Benzema.
He also had a few words about Mbappe.
“Kyllian is disappointed, he wanted to shine here. He had a great first game, a great first half here, he scored a goal, but we stopped him later “, concluded the French striker.
Did he commit a foul on Donnarumma?
“No, not at all. He waited a long time, I put pressure and just took the ball away “, explained Benzema.
