Karim Benzema, French international striker for Real Madrid, did not clear up doubts about his participation against PSG in the Parc des Princes, conditioned by the sensations he has in the last training session, but he admitted that he feels “prepared”.
“It’s been a lot of hours of work and I feel much better. We have a training session to see how I feel and if I can play the game tomorrow. I hope to feel good feelings on the pitch,” said Benzema at a press conference.

“I am going to train and then we will make a decision,” he added. “I will always force for my team because if I don’t stay in Madrid today. I am always here to help and if I have to force myself I will do it. Nor is doing it to injure yourself more. I always think of the team and that’s why it will depend on the feelings I have,” he said.
hard work
The French striker assured that since he suffered the muscle injury he has worked intensely with the aim of arriving in time to play the match against PSG.
“It was difficult because when you’re away it’s difficult, I got up in the morning, afternoon and night doing work in Valdebebas and at home to get there. I’m ready, now we have to see on the pitch, but I’m here to help my team in a great game. If I have to play tomorrow I will give everything on the pitch,” he said.
His coach, Carlo Ancelotti, assured that he would have the last word on Benzema’s presence in the game, after listening to the rest of the coaching staff and the footballer himself.
“He has a medical discharge, he has trained by running, sprinting, without a problem. Then there are the player’s feelings. When these two things occur, the coach has to see. He hasn’t played for a month, but he’s Karim, he’s not a player who has to adapt. If he’s okay, he has to play,” he assured.
Benzema indicated that the duel will be very even, because both teams have great players and he did not want to say who is the favourite. “In today’s football there are no favourites, not only in this game, anyone can beat you and reach the final. If we look player by player, we are two very equal teams,” he said.
On whether Rel Madrid is too dependent on his goals, the attacker assured that “the team has known how to win” in the weeks he has been absent. The striker blamed his team’s bump in results on the difficulty of opening rival defenses when they close behind.
