After his Hat Trick, how many goals has Karim Benzema scored with Real Madrid?

Karim Benzema has been making history since he arrived at Real Madrid back in the 2009/2010 season. On July 1, 2009, it was announced that Olympique de Lyon had reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of the Frenchman. The operation was closed for a total of 35 million euros plus another 6 million for objectives, which were obviously met.

In relation to the values that are handled today in the market, it is a very cheap price that Madrid paid for the French striker. With everything he has achieved, the business was round for the white team. In the first season he had not done as well as expected, but with the arrival of José Mourinho he began to show that he was a world top.

It was always said that he grew up under the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was the main star of Merengue during those years in which both shared the squad. It was always the same, but what CR7 did was so spectacular that it made Benzema not be valued enough by the merengue fanatic.

Already with the departure of Cristiano, he became the main card of Real Madrid. So much so that he is the current winner of the Ballon d'Or and he earned it well deserved after winning one of the best Champions League in football history. The number of goals today against Valladolid confirms him as the second top scorer in the history of Merengue in LaLiga.

He far exceeds two Real Madrid idols

With these three goals for the domestic competition, the Frenchman reached 233 goals for LaLiga and ranks fifth among the top scorers in this competition after Messi (474), CR7 (311), Telmo Zarra (252) and Hugo Sanchez (234). Benzema is very close to the Mexican and could surpass him in the next duels, but he did settle, beating Raúl González and Alfredo Di Stéfano, who have 228 and 227, respectively.
