It was an “unforgettable” night, not just for the striker, but for everyone! Frenchmen with his stunning hat-trick in the second half powered Real Madrid to an outstanding win against Paris Saint-Germain.
The Los Blancos had lost their 1st leg against the Ligue 1 side following Kylian Mbappe’s late winner but Karim Benzema, in the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu with his fire performance helped his side knock out the opponents in a must-win match. The three goals helped him surpass the legend Alfredo Di Stefano’s goalscoring record and became the third all-time top scorer to inscribe his name in Real Madrid history.
The 13-times Champions League winners’ striker was asked about his performance on Real Madrid TV, to which he replied that the night was “unforgettable”. The La Liga top scorer further thanked the environment and the goals for finalizing qualification. About reaching Di Stefano’s record, Benzema said, ” It’s a dream to have reached the goalscoring records of a legend like Alfredo Di Stefano.”
