In the first round of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, Real Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 on the road, thought the road to promotion is a straight road, but the second round back home, the team suffered adversity, the total score of the two rounds once behind to 3-4, so people can not help but recall the 2005 UEFA Europa League final, when Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan, in the first half of the lead of the situation of Liverpool 3-0, in the second half was forced to draw to 3-3! The final penalty shootout was 3-4 against the opponent, regretting to lose the title. Fortunately, this time Real Madrid dodged a bullet, Carlo Ancelotti also nearly broke out in a cold sweat.
Ancelotti was able to turn the tide, his clinical substitution is extremely critical. Down 0-3, he decisively replaced the striker Lodi Goss scramble, the 21-year-old Brazilian star on the field only 2 minutes to score, the total score to 4-4, which has the hope of continuing the game.
In extra time, Benzema scored again to save Real Madrid. The French international has 12 goals and 1 assist in the UEFA Europa League, 24 goals and 11 assists in La Liga, and 2 goals in the Copa Libertadores, for a total of 38 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season.
Bayern Munich are out of the competition and Benzema is expected to win this year's Ballon d'Or over Roberto Lewandowski if Real Madrid can win this year's UEFA Champions League, according to France's L'Equipe newspaper. L'Equipe is part of the same group as the Ballon d'Or organizers, France Football, which seems to have laid the groundwork for Benzema's win in advance.
