Karim Benzema Delights in Match-Winning Performance Against Liverpool
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema expressed his delight after scoring the decisive goal in his side’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday, during the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
The French-Algerian forward was the difference-maker in a tightly contested match, and his post-match comments reflected the joy of contributing on the European stage.
“I really like the Champions League—it’s a competition where I’ve scored many goals,” Benzema said in an interview published on Real Madrid’s official website. “I don’t know if this is the best form of my life, but I feel 100 percent, and I have the confidence of everyone around me.”
The 35-year-old striker, long regarded as one of Europe’s most reliable frontmen, was clinical once again on Tuesday night. His first-half goal proved enough to separate the two European giants, helping Madrid move closer to qualification from the group.
Benzema also praised the collective strength of his team, highlighting the chemistry and unity within the squad.
“The team is in great shape, and we’re going to keep enjoying ourselves,” he continued. “We’re creating a lot of chances, and both our attack and defence are working in harmony.”
The win against Liverpool reinforces Real Madrid’s strong position in the group and underlines Benzema’s importance to the Spanish champions. His performance comes at a time when Madrid are seeking another deep run in Europe’s premier club competition.
Having worn the white shirt for over a decade, Benzema remains a talismanic figure in Madrid’s ambitions. His goal on Tuesday was yet another reminder of his enduring quality on the Champions League stage—a tournament he has lifted five times with the Spanish giants.
As the group stage nears its conclusion, Real Madrid fans will be hopeful their star striker continues this form in pursuit of further European glory.
