Karim Benzema always enters a little more in the history of Real Madrid. By finding the flaw at the very end of the match during the walk of the Madrilenians on the lawn of Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night in the Champions League (0-5), the French striker scored his 290th goal with the White House. He thus joins Carlos Santillana, striker of the 70s and 80s, in the fourth rank of the best scorers in the history of the club.
“It always feels good to score, to get closer to the greatest, but for me the most important thing is to have fun, as I did tonight on the pitch. And each time if I can score or make assists it is only a bonus, ”reacted the Frenchman on Canal after the match.

“He is the light that guides Real 365 days a year”, soberly wrote Ace in today’s edition. If he continues at his current pace, Benzema, 11 goals in 11 club games since the start of the season, can hope to climb further in the hierarchy. Alfredo Di Stefano (308 goals) is not very far, Raul (323) a little more but not that much either. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo (450) soars to heights unattainable for ordinary people.
