Euro 2021-Portugal-France (2-2): Man of the match, the awakening of Karim Benzema
After 339 minutes of silence since his return to the Blues, Karim Benzema signed a brace against Portugal, for France’s last match in Group F of Euro 2020. He was named Man of the Match.
Karim Benzema, the scorer’s rage.
Karim Benzema was impressive during the shock of Group F, France-Portugal (2-2), this Wednesday, June 23. Author of a double (45 + 2, penalty, and 47th), the French striker of Real Madrid was elected Man of the match.
Thanks to this draw, the Blues finish at the top of their group. They avoid England, at Wembley, and Belgium, two more formidable opponents on paper than Switzerland which they inherited in the round of 16.
These two goals from Benzema are therefore worth their weight in gold for the France team. They also release their author from the pressure that weighed on his head since his return to the France team, thanks to this Euro, after five years of absence following the case of the sextape of Mathieu Valbuena.

“I missed scoring in the national team”
“I felt a lot of happiness and pride when I scored the penalty ,” said the French striker at the microphone of BeIN Sports , referring to the first of his two goals. I know everyone was expecting this. And I had a lot of pressure. But I’m a professional so I need that pressure too. I’m happy because I know that in this competition goals are very important. ”
The last time Karim Benzema found the net in the French team was in 2015, in a friendly, against Armenia. He had signed a doublet. A desert crossing followed that lasted nearly six years. Established first in a friendly, against Wales (0-3) and Bulgaria (0-2), then at the Euro, against Germany (0-1) and Hungary (1-1) , the Madrilenian will have remained silent for 339 minutes. His two goals against Portugal are a breath of fresh air for him. “I’m used to scoring in clubs but I missed it in the national team
