Marcelino said that they were lucky Cristiano did not play at Santiago Bernabeu.
Valencia has stopped Real Madrid in the second round in La Liga, equalizing 2: 2 in the Santiago Bernabeu.
There were many chances for Benzema, and the result would be a lot different if the Frenchman reacted i a better way.
According to Valencia coach Marcelino, the result at “Bernabeu” would be far different if Cristiano Ronaldo would have been in the game.
“This result is thanks to the hard work. We could have won, could have won Real Madrid, I’m proud of the players, “Marcelino said.
“Cristiano is a killer in front of the goal and if he was in the game for sure he would scored one of the balls from all those who entered our area,” added Valencia coach.
Benzema had numerous occasions in this match, but the Frenchman failed to score.
