Real is still there
Real Madrid will play a third consecutive Champions League final, but it's almost a miracle. After his lucky win in Munich in the half-way (2-1), the Merengue Club suffered a lot on the return (2-2).
The man: Benzema seized his last chance
In difficulty in Real for months, silent in C1 since November 21, Karim Benzema had one last chance to show the level according to the Madrid media. The French striker took only ten minutes to find the fault: after a perfect center Marcelo, he scored his head at the far post. At the 46th, he scored twice with the help of Ulreich. The former Lyonnais is the fifth best scorer in the history of the Champions League with 55 achievements. In addition to its double, Benzema has worked hard, as usual. He was a poison for the Bavarian rearguard, especially by his calls and his game in deflections. And he helped his defense, as in the 43rd when he stripped James Rodriguez of the ball. His replacement by Bale in the 72nd came under an ovation from Santiago-Bernabeu.
