Even though Liverpool fielded a weakened side in their Champions League fixture against Real Madrid, take nothing away from this goal.
Only 27 minutes into Tuesday's rematch of the 1980-81 European Cup, Real Madrid did what they do best and strung together five fast-paced passes down the pitch that sliced through Liverpool's midfield and backline to give Carlo Ancelotti's side an early lead.
Karim Benzema merely needed to get a foot on Marcelo's cross and nothing else.

It's slightly ridiculous that Benzema scoring in four consecutive Champions League fixtures is nothing new.
The French striker also joined some impressive company with the goal.
