Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema claimed his Champions League final goal against Liverpool was not lucky.
The Frenchman capitalised on a Loris Karius error to open the scoring in Kiev as Real Madrid won a 13th European Cup courtesy of a 3-1 victory.
The striker intercepted a Karius throw, sticking his foot out before seeing the ball roll into the bottom corner.
“My goal from Kiev, it was not a matter of luck,” he said, via ‘AS’. “I do not believe in luck, it’s a matter of work. It’s an easy goal but you have to be there, in the right place and at the right time, to put it in.”
Unfortunately, the goal was not enough to convince France coach Didier Deschamps to include the striker in his world cup squad
