The win saw Real Madrid return to the top of La Liga, with Asensio scoring a hattrick and Benzema adding two more in addition to Isco’s late strike.
Asensio’s treble in what was his first start of the season, was the first time a Spanish player had scored a hattrick for Real Madrid in La Liga since Alvaro Morata in April 2017.
"I invest my experience in the team and look to give them my all, both in terms of experience and confidence," Ancelotti told reporters post-match.
"I'm lucky to coach this brave team with a lot of quality and players who learn quickly. Asensio played very well. We knew that he can do a lot of damage and they had a lot of quality between the lines, he's a very good shot taker and he combines very well.
"Asensio has performed very well and during next week he can hopefully score three goals as well. I think this is the position.
"It can be sometimes that if we push with the full-back, defending, he can play more on the outside, but with the ball it's always the same position because he likes it. When he comes inside he has the ball on the left and he is very dangerous there."
Benzema has now scored eight goals and provided seven assists in La Liga this season.
"Karim is doing well," Ancelotti added. "He's scored eight goals and can make you forget that he is playing very well with the team, he gets behind, he contributes to the other players.
"He's a striker who doesn't just score goals. He is complete in every way.
