 Sports: Karim Benzema Makes History As Real Madrid Beat Chelsea 

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has made history after scoring a hat-trick in his side’s Champions League quarter-final 3-1 win over Chelsea.

Benzema’s goals against Chelsea mean the 34-year-old has now become the first France player to reach ten goals plus in a single campaign in Champions League history. Benzema is also the first France player to do so in the European Cup since Just Fontaine in 1958/59. 

Meanwhile, the result against Chelsea gives Real Madrid a first-leg advantage ahead of the second leg next week. Benzema will now hope to lead Real Madrid to victory when they host Getafe in a LaLiga tie this weekend.
