Benzema nets 7-minute hat trick, Madrid beats Valladolid 6-0
MADRID: It was a quick hat trick for Karim Benzema, and a big win for Real Madrid ahead of the last “clasico” of the season. Benzema scored his three goals in a seven-minute span as Madrid crushed Valladolid 6-0 in the Spanish league on Sunday, boosting the team’s morale before it faces Barcelona in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. “We will go to Barcelona with a lot of confidence after today’s game,” Madrid defender David Alaba said.
