Benzema equals CR7’s record in the Champions League

95 minutes of the Champions League semi-final second leg between Real Madrid and Man City, Benzema earned a penalty after a collision with Ruben Dias. The referee and VAR team discussed carefully before giving Real the advantage. From a distance of 11m, Benzema coldly finished the score to make it 3-1. This is also the decisive goal to bring Real Madrid a ticket to the Champions League final.

With this goal, Benzema has his 10th goal in the knockout round of this season’s Champions League. This is the best achievement by a player in the knockout round of the Champions League. Previously, Ronaldo was the holder of this record with 10 goals in the 2016/17 season. Benzema has the opportunity to surpass Ronaldo to monopolize the record, if he continues to shoot when he plays with Real Madrid against Liverpool in the final at the Stade de France on May 28.

Benzema equals the record of his former teammate

Benzema also became the fourth player in history to score both the first leg and the return leg in the quarter-finals and semi-finals in a single Champions League season. Previously only Fernando Morientes (Monaco, 2003/04), Neymar (Barcelona, ​​2014/15) and Edin Dzeko (Roma, 2017/18) have ever done that.
