He also dovetailed well with Karim Benzema, laying on a subtle backheel pass to the Frenchman for the visitors' second goal. "At Chelsea he was a certain type of player and now he has to write a new history at Real Madrid," said Benzema. "He's a very creative player, he's spontaneous and he needs confidence to take on opponents. He's had a lot of injuries and he needs everyone to have a little patience in him, even though there's very little patience in football," he said. "He has so much talent and little by little he'll return to his best, and we really need him to do that."
