Long silent Karim Benzema "shot" at the right time - the Frenchman's double helped Real Madrid club to make their way to the UEFA Champions League final. The 30-year-old footballer is having one of the worst seasons in terms of productivity and recently even got left out of the team's starting lineup. However, in the return leg of the semi-finals against Bayern, the striker proved he still has what it takes - scoring two goals that secured a draw and a spot in the final. The Frenchman was also very valuable to the team even without scoring - despite playing in an attacking position, he was the player who had the most ball recoveries during the match. "It was a very tough game against a very strong opponent. We knew we were facing a difficult and intense match, but we managed to score two important goals. I am very happy that we are in the final again. Personally, it was a wonderful evening for me, as well as for the entire team. I work hard, but things don't always go as I would like. Today, I enjoyed every touch of the ball", said K. Benzema. For the Frenchman, this was his fourth goal in this Champions League season.
