Kylian Mbappé scored both Real Madrid goals in Lisbon, taking his tally to 13 in the Champions League to date. After the game, the striker said: "In football, games start on 0 minutes and not 45 minutes, so in the end the defeat is deserved. I can't say it's not deserved because we didn't play well to win this game. We didn't play well and they did. Benfica at home is always difficult. We knew it before and I think it was our fault."

“We'll see what happens, but we might come back here and if so, we'll come back with a different intention. The first balls and the duels they win are not a matter of quality or tactics but of having more desire than the opponent."

Analysis of the match
“Benfica were playing for their lives and we didn't look like we were playing for ours. That was the big problem of the game. At the start, both teams had things to play for, we were in the top 8 and they were in the top 24. We saw Benfica, but we didn't see what was at stake.”
