Real Madrid qualified against Liverpool for the UEFA Champions League after winning 1-0 in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu for the round of 16, with an overall result of 6-2 proving to be once again solid candidates to win the title this year of the highest competition at club level in Europe.

And in that sense, the White House is excited about this great meeting with a true level in all its lines, especially the most veteran. Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, were really vital to get this qualification to the quarterfinals against the cast of Jurgen Klopp, showing that they all have a great deal ahead of them.

But the truth is that there was bad news that worried several at Real Madrid, pointing to the Clásico of Spain that is coming against FC Barcelona and a concern of several believing that they can lose their top figure to face Xavi Hernández's team in a Vital duel for La Liga of Spain.

Karim Benzema took one of his legs throughout the match, manifesting clear pain and the alarms went off in Real Madrid, making it clear that he did not reach one hundred percent for this match and he would not do so for the duel against FC Barcelona this Sunday where the White House must win.

Benzema spoke about his injury

Karim Benzema cleared up the doubts and made it clear that it is not an ankle injury as it was stated, but rather a blow to the tibia. He expressed that it hurts but that it is still just a blow and that it will not prevent him from playing against Xavi Hernández's FC Barcelona next Sunday at the Camp Nou, with the intention of taking the three points.
