"Of course I am really pleased to score at the Bernabeu but the most important thing was to get the victory," said Benayoun.
"We're all really pleased because this is a fantastic result for us. It's a great win but we have to think that we still have one more game to play and look to complete the job at Anfield.
"We came with the idea to win. We knew we'd have to work hard in defence but that we could get spaces behind them when they attacked us.
"We've done well in this game but Real Madrid are a big team with quality players. We have confidence after this result but now we have to put everything into the next game to make sure we are in the next round."
