But Benzema levelled again at the start of the first half, then added the fifth from the penalty spot after goals from Vinicius Junior and new signing Eduardo Camavinga.

The hosts took a surprise lead five minutes before the break through Raul de Tomas' looping header, with Atletico labouring until Yannick Carrasco struck a leveller 11 minutes from time.
