Karim Benzema bagged a hat-trick as Real Madrid thumped Barcelona 4-0 in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
The recent Ballon d'Or winner doubled his side's advantage against their bitter rivals in the second half after Vinicius Junior opened the scoring before the break. Benzema added his second from the penalty spot eight minutes later before completing his hat-trick with 10 minutes to go.
The 35-year-old has seemingly improved since turning 30 and is regarded as Real Madrid's most important player, with the France international striker netting 23 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions this campaign.
