Benzema revels in Madrid clincher

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has voiced his delight at the manner of his second goal against Real Sociedad on Saturday.

The Frenchman sent a curling effort from the edge of the box past Geronimo Rulli to round off a commanding 4-1 victory for Los Blancos, and he admits he did not expect the strike to be so ‘beautiful’.

“I’m pleased with the goals, but more so for the win. We had to win because it was a tough game against a great team, but we were fine,” he told reporters.

“We have to be careful conceding goals because it’s not the first time it’s happened to us, but then we responded.

“I saw an opportunity [for my goal], but I didn’t know it’d be so beautiful. We secured the three points and now we won’t rest until Wednesday.”
