Karim Benzema had a perfect game against Athletic Bilbao! As of now, he wants to score more goals and help Real Madrid to secure another La Liga title.
Adding more goals to the net!
Karim Benzema adds and continues in another spectacular season in front of the goal. The white 9 is again launched towards 30 goals, a bar that it has already reached in two of the last three seasons. With his double against Athletic, there are already 20 goals in 23 games, 15 of them in the league, and he is just one goal behind the 300 with Real Madrid. Benzema has 299 goals as a Madrid player and the countdown begins to hunt down Di Stefano and become the third top scorer in Madrid’s history. Cristiano (451), Raúl (323) and Di Stefano (308) occupy a podium of gunners who, at this rate, will soon have a new tenant in the figure of the Frenchman. In the League, Benzema scores 207 goals and ahead he also has only Di Stefano (216), Raúl (228) and Cristiano (312).
Scoring his first 100 goals
To score his first 100 goals for white, Benzema took 5 years and five months. He made his debut on August 29, 2009 and was centenary on January 18, 2014 against Betis. On November 7, 2018, against Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League, Benzema reached 200 goals for Real Madrid (specifically 201 after his double that night). Four years and 10 months it took for that second centenary. Now, three years and just over a month after reaching 200, Karim is one goal away from the historic barrier of 300 goals as a Real Madrid player. Benzema reaches 401 goals in his professional career (299 with Real Madrid, 66 with Olympique Lyon and 36 with France). He is the second French player to reach this figure, only surpassed by Thierry Henry, with 411.
