On Tuesday, “Real“ Madrid lost to „Manchester City“ team with a score of 3:4 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. Despite the defeat, the “royal“ club kept realistic chances of reaching the final, with a significant contribution from Karim Benzema, who scored two goals. The Frenchman impressed the football world at the end of the match when he calmly converted an 11-meter penalty kick in Panenka style, even though he missed two penalties in „La Liga“ matches before that. After the game, the leader of “Real“ stated that he never doubted his decision to take the penalty in that way. „I always tell myself that if I don't miss penalty shots from 11 meters, I will never miss them. I just have a lot of confidence in myself. I decided to hit it in Panenka style and, as we saw, it paid off,“ K. Benzema said after the match.
