The French star scored a brace during the second half of the game to seal the deal for Los Blancos with a come-from-behind win.

Real Madrid have alwats felt quite comfortable when playing UEFA Champions League games, and during their recent runs in the competition, they have had quite a bit to thank Karim Benzema for.

In their match against Liverpool, the Spanish giants once again enjoyed one of the great nights by the Frenchman in this competition, as he found the back of the net twice in the second half and handed out one more assist to his teammates to seal a come from behind win against Liverpool.

Benzema had a hand in Vinicius' first goal of the evening with an assist, and then, he scored twice in a row to give the Spaniards a comfortable lead prior to the second leg of this tie, where Klopp's men will have to score four uncontested goals to have a chance of turning things around.

Just like it has been for Benzema lately when it comes to UCL games, the Frenchman added a couple more records to his already impressive resume. The first one had to do with his consistency over quite a few years, as he became the second player in history to score in 18 consecutive UEFA Champions League editions. The other player to do that? Lionel Messi.

Then, we have to look at his impressive performances against Liverpool, especially when he has made it to Anfield and has scored more goals than any away player in the competition's history.

Have a look at his final goal of the evening as a token of how the footballer taught Liverpool a lesson on how to be cool inside the rival's box (Image might be geo-restricted).
