We can always count on the Champions League to rock our world with some epic matches, and Wednesday’s face-off between Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain was one of the wildest in recent memory. The Spanish team pulled an incredible comeback in the second half thanks to Karim Benzema’s amazing performance. PSG was a clear favorite in the first half, with Kylian Mbappe scoring the first and only goal for his team. It seemed they were on the fast-track to victory, but Benzema single-handedly destroyed their hopes to win the match by netting three goals for Real Madrid in a matter of just 17 minutes. Madrid eventually won 3-1 thanks to Benzema’s hat-trick, but he believes that PSG lost thanks to the pressure from the whole team. He also gave a special shout-out to the fans for supporting them during the game’s darkest moments. "We needed the fans and this is for them. It was a very difficult game but we pushed until the end and we deserve the win. We lost the first leg, they went 1-0 up, but our fans pushed us to give everything right to the final whistle," said Benzema. This match marks PSG’s exit from the Champions League competition, while Real Madrid made it to the quarter-finals along with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich.
