Karim Benzema’s three goals created the whole impact as Madrid secured their 3-1 victory against Chelsea. Both the teams faced each other in the first leg of their 2021-22 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie on Wednesday. Benzema was no doubt in fantastic form lately. This 34-year-old shot two goals within three minutes in the first half.
Further, during the second-half match that was held in London, he struck another goal, making it his second-straight Champions League hat-trick. Just before it struck halftime, Jorginho gave a great cross that was ducked in by Kai Havertz. This arose the hopes for the home side while the crowd cheered. However, Madrid did a great job during the second half when Benzema shot his third goal, completing a hat-trick. Meanwhile, Villarreal took over Bayern Munich 1-0 off an early goal.
