Karim Benzema confident Real Madrid will reach Champions League final
Karim Benzema was in a confident mood after scoring a brace that helped keep Real Madrid alive in their Champions League last-four tie against Manchester City and the French striker predicted his team would now qualify for the final. Real trailed by two goals three times in the semi-final first leg at the Etihad stadium on Tuesday but fought back to lose by a solitary goal in a 4-3 thriller. "I warn our fans to be ready to see something magical, we will win the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu," Benzema told Movistar Plus. "Losing is never good and we care a lot about winning the Champions League this season. The thing is we never lowered our guard and kept fighting until the end."
