Man of the Match in Chelsea v Real Madrid game, Benzema: "These are magical nights, just like the one we had recently at the Bernabéu" | OneFootball

Karim Benzema notched his second consecutive Champions League hat-trick and was named Man of the Match as Real Madrid overcame Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The forward spoke at the full-time whistle and reflected on the game in the following terms: “These are magical nights, just like the other game against Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabéu. We came out tonight to win the game and to show what Real Madrid are all about and things worked out well for us because we performed well from start to finish”.

“We're in good shape and fought until the very end. We came into the game to win and when Madrid take that approach it's really positive for us. We now face a game in front of our fans, at our stadium and will be giving our all to win the game, which is also a very important one”.

Goals “The three goals are really important. I’m most pleased about scoring the third because I missed one in the first half and I was thinking about that. It’s important to score goals. Then I got another chance and I scored, so I’m really pleased”.

Ancelotti “I always say that he’s one of the best managers in the world. We have a lot of faith in him and whenever he puts Valverde on the right or another lad, they do a good job”.
