Benzema warns Real Madrid about Atalanta

Karim Benzema warns Real Madrid about Atalanta and says he ‘cant’ talk’ about Cristiano Ronaldo’s possible return

The French striker missed the first leg against Atalanta due to an injury, but he is back in the Merengues’ squad list for tuesday’s fixture.

“I am fit, I feel good, and I have confidence in my condition. I have recovered well,” Benzema told Sky Sport Italia.

“I have to continue this way to help my team. We do not underestimate anyone. There are no small teams in the Champions League.

“Atalanta are a good team. They score many goals. We are in the Champions League, and there is a lot of pressure. We respect our opponents, but we are aware we are a strong team.”
