Karim Benzema's Goal Assists Real Madrid Advance to Quarter-Finals
Posted : 09 April 2023
Real Madrid and Liverpool's goal-fest in the first leg was not to happen again as the former team breezed into the competition's quarterfinals. Madrid was in a strong position to advance to the final after winning the first leg 5-2. Karim Benzema's second-half strike gave Madrid a 1-0 victory at the Bernabeu in the return match.
Real Madrid easily advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League after Liverpool was eliminated from the competition by Real Madrid with a quiet 1-0 victory at the Bernabeu thanks to the holders' stellar performance at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of the Reds, had mentioned a 1% chance going into the second leg in Spain, and by playing four forwards, it appeared as though he was going for it.
The competition's quarterfinal and semifinal draws will take place on Friday, and Real Madrid can already anticipate them.
After that, the emphasis of Los Blancos will shift to Sunday's El Clasico at Barcelona, while Liverpool won't play again until April 1 when they go to Manchester City in the Premier League.
