Home Sport Karim Benzema dedicates Real Madrid win at Liverpool to late, great Amancio Amaro 22-02-2023 10:27 AM Ammon News - Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema dedicated Wednesday's 5-2 win over Liverpool to club great Amancio Amaro, who died at 83 earlier in the day. Benzema scored Madrid's fourth, via a huge deflection, and fifth goals as the title-holders staged an epic comeback, having trailed 2-0 at Anfield. It put the Spanish giants firmly in the driving seat to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals when the two sides meet in the return leg next month. "It's a very important night for us, I want to dedicate this win to our honorary president, Amancio," Benzema told Movistar. "This victory is for him, with personality, goals. We want this Champions League. "It was a beautiful game for everyone because we started a bit badly, we know Liverpool with their fans put on a lot of pressure, but after 15, 20 minutes, then we saw Real Madrid." Liverpool went two goals ahead at the start but Madrid came back with a vengeance to run out comfortable winners. Vinicius Junior, who netted the winner against Jurgen Klopp's side in the 2022 final, hit a brace to go with Benzema's pair, while Eder Militao scored a header just after half time. "We know football is always difficult. They started well," added French striker Benzema. "Two errors after 14 minutes, we need to do more – what we did until the end. "A goal can change everything and it happened today."
