Karim Benzema can’t be stopped.
The French forward delivered another huge goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League, scoring a beautiful left-footed volley out of nowhere in Tuesday’s semifinal to cut Manchester City’s early two-goal advantage in half.
It was Benzema’s 40th goal of the season.

Benzema scored his second goal of the match – and 41st of the campaign – in the second half, converting a cheeky Panenka penalty late on. Despite the Frenchman’s latest scoring outburst, Manchester City held off Real Madrid for a 4-3 win.
