“Liverpool” team received bad news.

Before last night's UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, it was announced that Real Madrid sniper Karim Benzema has recovered from injury.

The 35-year-old Frenchman could not play in the last round of the Spanish championship, but today he will be ready to surprise the defenders of the English club.

“He has already recovered and will be ready to play from the start of the match. K. Benzema is eagerly awaiting the game”, said the royal team coach C. Ancelotti.

The veteran has become a nightmare for the Liverpool club - he has scored four goals in their previous encounters.
