“A defeat is never good”, the Frenchman made the first thing clear, although he also confessed to having “excitement with this Champions League”. “The most important thing is that we never lower our arms until the end. The result is what it is,” confessed Karim, who sent a clear and forceful message: “Now we will go to the Bernabéu, we need the fans like never before to do something magical, which is to win”.
Before the game gale of the Manchester Citywhich soon surprised the Real Madridthe explanation is easy. “That’s the high level. If you go into a game and you’re not confident, far behind, that happens. City is a good team, they’re at home and with a lot of pressure they score two goals.” “There was a little bit of everything missing in this game. Ambition, pressure, confidence…”, specified Benzema, who is convinced that the team “can play the whole game” as they have played in the last few minutes.

That’s having confidence and that’s it. I have a lot of confidence in myself, I do it and it goes well,” Benzema explained simply.
