Benzema vows Real Madrid 'will fight to the end' after win over Racing Santander

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema insists his side will press on with their trophy assault for the rest of the season, following a comfortable 4-0 win over La Liga rivals Racing Santander on Saturday.

The 23-year-old also intimated he would not be disappointed if his goal on the stroke of half-time is taken away from him, after it emerged Sergio Ramos may have had the final touch on his finish over the head of visitors' goalkeeper Tono.

"It was a great game in the end," Benzema said after the match. "I do not know if the second goal was mine or Sergio [Ramos'], but I do not care because it was important to win.

"We will continue fighting until the end."

Real Madrid have now provisionally moved 13 points clear of Barcelona at the La Liga summit, though the Catalans play on Sunday.
