Benzema commented: "I am very proud. I am happy for the whole team. First of all, we played two great matches at a very high level." "I am very happy with my work for some time now. Returning to the team and winning - it makes me happy, yes. With this title, I look more ambitious towards the future with the national team. Because this team has huge potential." "(My goal) is a combination that I often practice in training, but usually the shots are closer to the goal. I have already scored several goals like that. I always try to hit the goal area, but when it comes to such goals, luck is always needed," said K. Benzema.
