Sanchís said on Tuesday, in a glance at this same newspaper, that Benzema is by far the best footballer at the moment. One more night, like against PSG, like against Mallorca, like so many others During this season, the Englishman made more than enough merit to justify his number one. After the scare of Vigo, with Madrid having a hard time getting three decisive points, the team put on the suit of lights that has given them so much greatness in Europe and went over Chelsea.
A foot and a half in the semi-finals, with another hat-trick by Benzema, like in the round of XNUMX against PSG: “All three are very important goals, but I'm keeping the third because I made a mistake in the first half and I had it in the head".
The English striker has had a brilliant last month, despite not having played a few games due to a minor injury to his soleus. He has scored ten of the last eleven goals, seven consecutively, and has accumulated two consecutive trebles in the Champions League, against PSG in the comeback at the Bernabéu and last night at Stamford Bridge: "It was a magical night, just like against PSG", he added. at the foot of the field, nothing else ended the game. Modric was already in the locker room, where he took his mobile to post a lapidary tweet: "What a player", along with a photo of the two celebrating the second goal. Ancelotti added to the praise: “It is better every day, like wine”.
Courtois, at his usual high level, also complimented the English striker: “Benzema is the best striker in the world. His level is very high. Without him it is difficult for us to score. The two headers were difficult and the ones put in. He is at a huge level.” Facing the return, he left a clear message: “We cannot think that everything is done, because he is not. An early goal from them can put them in the tie. The old rule of the double value of the goals in the opposite field would have been better”. A message of caution that he repeated to Ancelotti: “A good match came out, but unfortunately there is another. You have to respect Chelsea and have zero confidence. I am cautious because Chelsea have not shown their best version due to Madrid, but the tie is not over. Tuchel, on the other hand, was outraged: "It was our worst game since I've been here."
