The first goal has officially been awarded to Vinicius Jr, but nevertheless, Karim Benzema does now have his second hat-trick in four days for Real Madrid.
Vinicius’ opener came right before half time, and since then, Real Madrid have been in the ascendency. Benzema placed a brilliant strike beyond Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to make it 2-0, before adding his second and Real Madrid’s third from the penalty spot.
Vinicius have now set up Benzema to get his hat-trick, which has put the cherry on top of the cake for Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou.
