BENZEMA SAVES THE DAY FOR REAL MADRID

Karim Benzema saved the day for a rather passive Real Madrid team that flew to Portugal to play against Sporting Lisbon. After Varane scored an early goal that was thought to be an offside, Fabio Coentrao caused a unnecessary penalty kick which took the home team to level terms with the White Giants.

Benzema who came in as a substitute converted a well-struck cross from Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos which gave Madrid a late but much-needed lead.

Real Madrid is still second on the group table. But it's quite predictable that the defending champions will be moving to the next stage.

He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
