Not even with CR7 was he this happy, Benzema's reaction to Asensio's goal against Celtic
Karim Benzema was maybe the happiest person because of Asensio's great goal.
Real Madrid winning a UEFA Champions League match at the Santiago Bernabeu is hardly news, however, this match was very special for the Madridistas. Because, just 4 days ago Real Madrid drew 1-1 against Girona in the League and left doubts.
The match got back on track for Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid relatively early, by minute 25 the game was already 2-0 in favor of the Whites, with a goal from Modric and another from Brazil's Rodrygo, and interestingly, both were scored from the penalty spot.

The Real Madrid party was confirmed when it was three to nil, a goal scored by Marco Asensio, the player born in Mallorca, Spain, who is not going through his best stage at Real Madrid, since he has long since lost the position of guaranteed holder that came to have a few seasons ago.
In this context, one of the players who is most fond of Asensio is the captain and recent Ballon d'Or winner, Karim Benzema. The Frenchman, who was on the bench at the time, got up and began to applaud Marco Asensio, with a smile on his face.
Who was Real Madrid's best player?
This news will not surprise many people either, because once again, the player of the match was the Uruguayan Federico Valverde, who is having a fantastic season and is even the top scorer for the merengue team this season. Valverde has silenced a lot of criticism because of it.
