Karim Benzema targets treble

Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema believes that Los Blancos can win the treble this season.

Carlo Ancelotti's side currently sit third in La Liga, three points behind leaders Atletico Madrid with seven games remaining.

Meanwhile, they are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and will face Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey later this month.

"The objective is to win the three competitions that we're in and I think we can do so," he told the club's official website.

"We have a good side and a great squad to achieve it. Carlo has brought stability and that's important. But we haven't forgotten what happened last season, but now we have a new side with a new mentality.

"Borussia Dortmund have the same side, albeit with a lot of injuries. We will give our all to make it through this tie. It's easy to play with the likes of Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Gareth [Bale]. They're very good, quick and technical. I have a good understanding with them both on and off the pitch."

Benzema has scored 23 goals this season.
