Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has declared himself fit for their Champions League clash with Olympique Lyon.

It will be emotional night for Benzema, who left Lyon last summer for Real.

The France international, who swapped his hometown club for Madrid in a big-money move last summer, told RTL radio: "I'm fine, ready to play, be it from the start or for the last half-hour.

"I hope that I get a good reception in Lyon and I think that I'm going to have a good match. It is a historic moment for me, it's a pleasure to return to Lyon."
