Karim Benzema: Real Madrid star's WhatsApp conversation with Niska before PSG heroics

Karim Benzema was the hero as Real Madrid produced an incredible late comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday evening.

Real Madrid looked down and out with 30 minutes of the tie remaining.
