Benzema, after Cristiano's figures: "Every day is better, like wine"

In more than seven decades of history, neither

,

or

, just to name a few, had achieved a similar milestone.

Nothing less than six consecutive goals for Real Madrid in the European Cup.

A feat that further elevates the recent legend of

, who not only embroidered football in London, but also sent one of the best defenses in Europe to the canvas.

's Chelsea

, who had only conceded seven goals in 15 Champions League games (0.47 on average), fell flat on their faces against the white

.

"Every day is better, like wine," admitted

, renowned winemaker, in the press room at Stamford Bridge.

"Every day he assumes greater leadership, he feels more important for this team and for this environment," added the Italian coach, without embarrassment when listing the virtues of his footballer.

«He Not only does he stand out in goals, but he helps a lot in the game.

He goes down to receive and it is difficult to mark him because he moves a lot », he illustrated after a night where Karim emulated a record of

and

.

Until yesterday, in the great continental tournament, only

had dared to emulate the Argentine and the Portuguese.

In 2014, the Shakhtar striker scored two consecutive

, like these most recent ones by Benzema.

He three weeks ago at the Bernabéu in the round of 16 and last night in London against the current European champion.

“These are magical nights, like the other day against PSG.

Today's three goals leave me very satisfied, but I arrived at half-time thinking about my lost chance at the end of the first half, so I think I'll take the third one", said the great protagonist of the night.

His influence on any plot was unquestionable.

Dominant in the aerial game

In any case, the 2,000 Madridistas displaced to Stamford Bridge will take a long time to forget his two headers, perhaps the luck in which he has progressed the most in recent times.

In the 2018-19 season, the first without Cristiano at his side, he already scored 10 goals in the aerial game and last year he scored another eight goals, with mention of his brace against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

This campaign, after those achieved against Celta and Mallorca, he currently has four.

Although it is difficult to conceive, Karim's achievements do not end there.

And it is that for the first time in his 13 seasons with white, he has been decisive in scoring 50 goals (37 goals and 13 assists).

A milestone that in this century had only been within reach at the Bernabéu for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ancelotti could well thank him in the 86th minute, when he gave him a break in favor of

.

And

, the French coach, will be able to set another record: since 1959, the times of

at the Stade de Reims, no French striker has reached 10 goals in the European Cup.

Supported by Benzema, Madrid massacred a Chelsea team that, if it has distinguished itself for something over a year, is by adjusting its defensive plan to what the situation required.

The coordination of movements, the flexibility to go up or down the line until annihilating the rival due to suffocation or boredom.

That entire framework, however, was hopelessly crumbled by one faulty part:

.

The Danish defender formed as a right-back, leaving

out of position , transferred to the left-back.

As soon as they felt the vulnerability of that flank, Benzema and Vinicius launched themselves like beasts.

Tuchel, pessimistic for the return

The scenes of Saturday against Brentford were repeated, when the poor London neighbor did and undid at will at the Bridge (1-4).

Three goals in 10 minutes, like these two from Benzema in just three.

"We must recover our level. I don't know where it has gone after the national team break, but the first half today was a repeat of the second against Brentford," Tuchel stressed.

"If we don't recover quickly on a mental level, we won't win at Southampton and we won't have any chance at the Bernabéu," predicted the German coach.

For many minutes, his only source of encouragement was the presence of

as a right-winger , with a precision on crosses only within the reach of the world's top elite.

At the time he opted for the feint,

's delivery had the best possible

for

have been repeated

, although the German international insists on defining his own style.

Whether with the delicacy of a

or with the roundness of the battering ram that attacks the area, Havertz once again exhibited his best clothes.

More unnoticed went

and

, the best accessories for the vertiginous football

.

The chances missed by

and

in the final stretch showed the impotence of the still defending the crown.
