^ I agree that the Liverpool defense is going to be on their toes to defend Benzema but we must not forget that Real doesn't have a good defensive setup. L
They don't need one if Courtois turns up with his best pair of gloves and the Real Madrid forward just continue scoring like they have always done. Alkeast Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG can attest to that.
Benzema does not need to be good the whole 90 minutes. In fact, most people are focusing on Benzema, but the Major threat is Rodygo.
^ Honestly, a goalkeeper can only do so much, and if the Liverpool forward comes with attack after the attack it will be really hard for only Courtois to stop those. I don't doubt his goalkeeping ability but I am really concerned about the defense of Real Madrid. and yes I agree that Benzema only needs a few changes to be the hero of Real Madrid.

No doubt with many people focusing on Benzema because he make change and different condition for Real Madrid team, without Benzema Real Madrid can play well. But true with Courtois as important player for Real Madrid, all knock out round begin with from PSG, Chelsea until Manchester City Courtois made many several crucial saves, different score and result without Courtois as goal keeper for Real Madrid although with Karim Benzema dominance as man of the match for Real Madrid.
^ I don't think without Benzema Real Madrid would be in this position and situation. Liverpool defenders are obviously going to keep a close eye on Benzema. I am actually not going to be surprised if Liverpool actually always marks him with one defender all the time. Benzema is going to be a big threat for Liverpool.
