At half-time, Real Madrid made a big step towards the knockout stages of the Champions League by defeating Mönchengladbach 2-0 (match in progress). The Merengue can thank their official scorer, Karim Benzema (32 years old, 5 games and 4 LdC goals this season). Served on crosses from Lucas Vazquez (9th) then Rodrygo (32nd), the Frenchman indeed carried his team by scoring a double head!
A good way to celebrate a historic evening for the former Lyonnais who is playing his 527th match with Casa Blanca in all competitions. The total allows him to equal Roberto Carlos’ record as the non-Spanish player who has played the most games for Real, Opta says. A hell of a night!
