Karim Benzema can't be stopped.

The French forward delivered another huge goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League, scoring a beautiful left-footed volley out of nowhere in Tuesday's semifinal to cut Manchester City's early two-goal advantage in half.

It was Benzema's 40th goal of the season.
