Benzema: "It was a party in the Bernabéu"

I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT AND TRY TO HELP THE TEAM ON THE PITCH.

Team
"There's no starting eleven with this team. We're a team and every player who comes on the pitch has to give everything because we're a group and we're all important here".
Rodrygo and Hazard
"Rodrygo looked very good to me, he's not afraid. He plays the ball and I love it when I see a young man playing like that. As for Hazard, he's a great player and our connection is very good. Little by little you'll see what a great player he is".
