Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole heaped praise upon Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema after his goal against Chelsea on Tuesday saw him move joint-fourth on the list of all-time Champions League scorers.
Benzema's ruthless finish in the 29th minute of the game salvaged a drew for Real Madrid after Christian Pulisic got a vital away goal for Thomas Tuchel's men.
The strike saw Benzema take his all-time Champions League tally to 71, level with another Real hero in the legendary striker Raul.
'If he [Benzema] is in the Chelsea team today they win today and at Stamford Bridge (in next week's second leg),' Ferdinand told BT Sport.
