The French Karim Benzema was the author of a triplet in the victory of Real Madrid against Celta de Vigo (5-2) in the return of the Whites to the Santiago Bernabéu 560 days later, on a night that the French striker described as “special ”.
“It was a special night for us because of the atmosphere with the people. First game a little weird because we have to adapt with the public again. The second half we do what we want to do to win the game, “he said on Movistar + after the match.
“We need the support of the fans and today they have given everything for us, it was seen in the second half,” he added.
Benzema has five goals and four assists this season out of the 13 goals that Real Madrid has scored in the first four games of the season: “I feel good, with the support of my coach, president, players and fans. If I can help with goals and assists I am very happy ”.
The negative part, the defensive fragility of Real Madrid, since they conceded two goals. “It is not just the defense, we are all. We have to work harder to avoid conceding goals and then we will win with many goals. We lack work every day in training, but the most important thing is the three points ”, he analyzed.
Benzema praised Vinicius, one of the most outstanding players of the match: “He is a phenomenon, he is very young and I really like playing with him. I talk to him a lot and he has shown that he can always play for this team ”.
In addition, he appreciated his compatriot Eduardo Camavinga’s debut with a goal: “Very good for him. He’s a great player, he’s young and he’s going to bring us a lot of things ”. EFE (HN)
