Real Madrid striker Benzema proud of double in PSG thriller

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was proud of his double in their 2-2 draw with Champions League opponents PSG.

Real blew a 2-0 lead late on to settle for a point.

But Benzema said, "It was a special night. The team give their all. We conceded twice at the end but it was a great performance from us. We're on the right track and put in a good display.

"It wasn't a good result because we wanted to win, but we gave our all, this is Real Madrid after all. Every last one of us has a role to play, as a team and to help each other on the pitch. Having qualified is very important for us. We now have to head into Saturday's game against Alavés and look to get the win."
