"We all know what happens when you play the UCL in Madrid"

Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2018, but had to really fight for it in some matches to make the final.

Against Juventus in the quarter-finals, the team qualified thanks to an injury-time goal by Cristiano Ronaldo after a penalty against Lucas, caused by Mehdi Benatia.

The action, very controversial, is still fresh in the player's mind. The Moroccan denied that the action in 'Sky Sport': "After the 0-3 of the first leg, we thought we were doomed, but we saw what Roma did with Barça and we encouraged ourselves.

"At the Bernabeu, we played an incredible game," he recalled of the 0-3 draw they made until the very last minute. Just when everything looked like it was going into extra time, the penalty came.

"Cristiano overtook Alex Sandro and put in a very dangerous cross. Lucas Vazquez thought he was alone in front of Buffon to finish off and I surprised him. I did my best not to touch him, but as soon as he noticed the slightest contact, he went down", he explained.

Benatia was clear in his accusations and hit hard against Real Madrid: "If you play that at the last second, it must be something very clear. However, we all know what happens when you play a Champions League match in Madrid".

The defender, who ended up leaving Juventus, regretted Allegri's treatment that season: "Against Napoli, I failed to mark Koulibaly. In three days I couldn't sleep. The coach took me out of the starting line-up and hurt me. I was the only one who had played against Napoli that he took away.
