It was Karim Benzema and Real Madrid’s night against Barcelona in their Copa del Rey semi-final second leg, the Frenchman bagging two quick-fire second-half goals to complete his second hat-trick in a matter of days.
The striker had scored in first half injury time after a lightning-fast counter attack, and against the run of play.
Barcelona had dominated to that point, but once Los Blancos had grabbed the lead, it was only a matter of time before they added to it.
That it was Benzema that did so only enhanced his credentials.
