While Rodrygo opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, Benzema followed up by scoring an astonishing hat-trick in just seven minutes, netting three in the opening half for the first time in his career.
The 35-year-old showed that age is just a number with his third goal on the day, slotting home a superb overhead kick from close range.
The trio of goals takes the Frenchman’s tally up to 11 goals on the campaign, and 342 in his sensational Real Madrid career.
