Real Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Galatasaray in the Champions League quarter-final, putting them in a favorable position for a spot in the semi-finals. Karim Benzema, the French striker, played a key role in the victory and scored his 18th goal in the Champions League with Real Madrid.
Benzema, who had faced criticism for his goal-scoring performances recently, responded emphatically to his detractors with a strong showing in the match. He acknowledged the quality of Galatasaray as a team but emphasized that Real Madrid had a very good match and made it look easy by playing well.
In a post-match statement to RMC, Benzema expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, saying, “I’m happy because I’m always happy when my team wins. I scored, so I am also personally satisfied.” He stressed the importance of continuing in the same vein to pursue Real Madrid’s goal of winning the club’s tenth European Cup, recognizing that there are few matches left in the competition.
