Marseille director Benatia was interviewed after drawing Real Madrid in the Champions League stage.

He said: "We are going to Madrid. To be honest, my personal memories of being there are not all beautiful. But I am happy for the fans."

Benatia played for Juventus as a player. Juventus played against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the 2017/18 Champions League. At that time, Juventus led Real Madrid 3-0 away when he lost 0-3 at home, but Benatia made a foul on Vazquez in the last moment, allowing Ronaldo to take the game away.
