Karim Benzema

Two goals and an assist for Asensio was Karim Benzema's contribution for Real Madrid today as they beat Celta 1-3

Real Madrid sealed their passage into the last eight of the Champions League with a comfortable 4-1 aggregate win over Atalanta.

The Real Madrid attacking midfielder is out injured again, on the eve of the Champions League second leg tie against Atalanta.

Real Madrid would no doubt love to have Haaland or Mbappé but a more realistic possibility financially is the return of striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Benzema's goals are keeping Zidane's side in the hunt for the title, with Atlético Madrid now just six points ahead and without a game in hand.

Zidane's side scored late at the Wanda Metropolitano to equalise against Atleti and keep their slender title hopes alive.
