The goalscorer for Real Madrid and the France team scored two goals in the round of 16 on Monday evening against Switzerland.
While the Blues did not see the light of day and were led 1-0, Karim Benzema relaunched his own in just four minutes.
His second double in two games, after the one against Portugal.
We were playing the 57th minute, and Lloris had just saved the country on a penalty, when the trio he forms with Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé got under way. Finally, one could say in this Euro. The Barcelonan faced the game within 30m to serve the Parisian between the lines. Mbappé's ball seemed late for Benzema but with the tip of his right foot, he was able to take it away and deceive goalkeeper Sommer two strides later with an equally silky lob from the outside of the left foot.
Barely three minutes after this high class action, the blue trio stood out in the same order for the second goal of KB9 offering the 2-1.
Launched at the entrance to the area, Antoine Griezmann played a one-two with Mbappé then tried to lob Sommer in turn.
But his shot, slightly pushed back, ended its race on the head of Benzema, well placed at the far post.
