Benzema: "After the first 15 minutes we already saw Real Madrid"

MADRID, 21 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Real Madrid's French striker, Karim Benzema, acknowledged that they started their game this Tuesday against Liverpool "a little" badly, against whom they were down 2-0 after fifteen minutes, but he was satisfied that after this period "already" the normal version of the Madrid team was seen.

"The team has had personality and goals. We want this Champions League and it has been a very nice game for everyone. We started a little badly, we know that Liverpool with their fans are going to put a lot of pressure on, but after the first 15 minutes we already saw the Real Madrid", said Benzema into the 'Movistar' microphone after the match.

The one from Lyon, who wanted to "dedicate this game and the victory" to the late Amancio Amaro, warned that "soccer is difficult". "They came in better than us in a big game and went up 2-0. We had to do more and we did it," stressed the captain, who saw Vinicius Jr's 2-1 win as key. "A goal can change a game for you and It was what happened," he celebrated.

Benzema scored his first two goals this season in the Champions League at Anfield, where last year he was his top scorer with 15. "I've played for a short time, only two games, but the most important thing, as always, is that I have to help the team with goals and assists," he said.

"I come from a season with many games and after the World Cup I was a little injured. This is always difficult to reach the 'top' level, but I'm fine, I'm going little by little. I had a good game and I'm going to continue like this", added the Frenchman, who does not consider the tie to be over because "many things can happen in football." "We are fine and we are going to have another 'great match' at the Bernabéu," he declared.
