Benzema speaks after the hat-trick and the extraordinary victory against PSG

Karim Benzema feels happy with his individual performance and Real Madrid’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the 1/8 of the Champions League.

Real Madrid has achieved one of the biggest upheavals in the Champions League, eliminating Paris Saint-Germain and securing the quarterfinals.

All this upheaval came thanks to an extraordinary performance by the French striker, Benzema, who scored the hat-trick and feels happy with his individual and team performance.

“It was two matches. The first match, where they dominated in all aspects. We were lucky to come out with only 1-0. In the return match we saw another Madrid, we pushed a lot forward”, Benzema said initially after the match.

“We conceded the goal in the first half, but we had confidence in ourselves. We should not give up in the Champions League and we showed that we are a great club.”

“We knew that PSG, when we put pressure on them, is a little harder for them. When we press Verratti and the two central players, they can not relate to the three attacking players. This is the problem of all the teams that want to start the action from behind – and then we were successful, we scored.

“My biggest game in the Champions League? It was just a quarterfinal, but personally it is something extraordinary. Especially with the support of the public,” concluded the French star.
