In a historic performance, Karim Benzema has cemented his name in the record books by becoming the first Real Madrid player since Ferenc Puskás in 1963 to score a hat trick at Camp Nou , the home ground of their arch-rivals Barcelona in the Coppa de rey Semi final second league. The 35-year-old French striker achieved this feat while fasting for Ramadan, adding to the already impressive accomplishment.
Benzema's heroics helped Real Madrid dismantle Barcelona, who have only conceded 9 goals in the entire La Liga campaign so far. The Spanish giants have scored 9 goals against the Catalan club this season in all competitions, demonstrating their attacking prowess and dominance over their rivals. Benzema's back-to-back hat-tricks are a testament to his skill, consistency, and mental strength, particularly when considering the challenge of playing at the highest level while observing a month-long fast.
