Viva Benzema: Hat-trick Sinks PSG

Real Madrid knocked out Paris St. Germain in the Champion's League Thursday night at the Bernabeu after going down 0-2 in aggregate. After a first half dominated by (future Madridista?) Kylian Mbappe, PSG once more let the advantage slip, as Karim Benzema rifled home three quick goals to seal an unlikely comeback.


Karim Benzema is now the third highest goal scorer in Real Madrid history with 309 goals. His hat-trick overtook legendary striker Alfredo DiStefano's 308 tally and places the 34-year-old behind just Raul (323) and Ronaldo (451!).
