Kimpembe: Benzema is very smart and it is very difficult to defend him

Live bar on February 14, 2019 In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals in the early morning of Wednesday beijing time, Paris Saint-Germain will sit at the Parc des Princes to meet Real Madrid. Paris Saint-Germain defender Kimpembe and Real Madrid striker Benzema are teammates in the French national team and the two may meet on the field in this game. Prior to the match, Kimpembe was interviewed on UEFA's official website, where he talked about several topics related to the match.

The battle over the Champions League is reignited

We never lost good form. Of course, we were given holiday breaks but the time was short. We've always been very professional and keep trying to work. Even though there is a long gap between the group stage and the knockout stages, even if we have enough time to prepare to return to "Champions League mode", we are training hard every day and preparing for the game against Real Madrid.

Obviously, it's going to be a very important game and we're all very much looking forward to it, and it's very exciting to be able to play like this, which is why we're players. We have to be ready to play such a very important game, especially if we want to beat a team like Real Madrid.

About Ramos' role

I think it's going to be a strange game for Ramos because he's going to be facing his old club, who has won everything there. However, he is now a member of Paris Saint-Germain and I hope that he has 100% of us in mind when facing his old club.

About facing national team teammate Benzema

It's not easy to defend Benzema because he's smart, he can always avoid one-on-one situations by touching the ball, and he can foresee the development of the game. He has a good vision and knows his opponents, so he is able to get out of the defense. As you know, he's a world-class player.

About the star-studded Paris Saint-Germain

We have world-class players. I've had the opportunity to train with David Beckham and play alongside players like Ibrahimovic, Maxville, Motta. Today, I'm lucky enough to play with players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe.

Of course, we learn every day, especially with players like Messi. They are never late and always appear rigorous and professional.
