Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane paid tribute to Karim Benzema after last night's Champions League defeat of Atalanta.

Benzema was again on the scoresheet for the 3-1 win which sees Real reach the quarterfinals 4-1 on aggregate.

Afterwards, Zidane said: "At the moment we have Karim Benzema. And we take advantage of Karim Benzema.

"We don't know when he will stop.

"Not to mention the goal, it is especially in the game that he is exceptional. Few players are able to control the ball as he does, to make others play and especially not to lose the ball."
