CHAMPIONS LEAGUE-BENZEMA: “STAY FOCUSED”
Real Madrid secured a commanding victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday. Determined to avenge their past defeats, the Merengues outclassed Borussia Dortmund with a resounding 3-0 triumph.
The match saw Gareth Bale open the scoring early on (3rd minute), followed by Isco’s goal (27th minute), and Cristiano Ronaldo’s 14th personal goal of the competition, which also equaled a record. With this impressive performance, Real Madrid has already taken a significant step towards securing a spot in the semi-finals.
Despite the comfortable lead obtained in the first leg, Karim Benzema, the French-Algerian striker for Real Madrid, urges caution. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and avoiding complacency ahead of the return match in Germany next Tuesday.
“It’s satisfying not only to score goals but also to prevent conceding them. Tonight, we showcased dominance from the beginning till the end,” stated Benzema. “While winning 3-0 is significant, we must not overlook the potential for comebacks in football. We need to stay focused and determined to secure victory in the second leg.”
