Karim Benzema has dismissed the suggestion that Real Madrid were fortunate to win the Champions League this season.
Carlo Ancelotti's side battled back from losing positions in each of their knockout ties with their semi-final comeback against Manchester City the most impressive of all. Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were also kicked out of the competition by Madrid, who then were able to get the better of Liverpool in Saturday's final despite fashioning only one shot on goal during proceedings.
Los Blancos' journey to securing their 14th Champions League was not the most convincing, though Benzema believes he and his team-mates were worthy winners of the biggest prize in club football.
