Benzema keeps breaking records at Real Madrid, close to Cristiano Ronaldo's

With authority and without inconveniences, Real Madrid won its 98th title in its history. The 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt allowed Real Madrid to win the European Super Cup for the fifth time.

France's Karim Benzema had another night to remember in Helsinki. The striker lifted the trophy for the first time as captain of Real Madrid and contributed to the achievement thanks to his goal, which also allowed him to surpass Raúl González as the second top scorer in the club's history (totaling 324).

Ahead of him in this ranking is only Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, still far behind with 450 goals; a figure that if he wants to break, and counting on maintaining the great effective rhythm of last season -44 goals- he will have to wait more than two seasons at the age of 34.

On an individual level, Benzema has another record to beat: 645 official matches as a madridista. With 606 with the white shirt and in a season in which Real Madrid still has five competitions ahead, it seems easier to achieve than that of the Lusitanian legend; which would make him one of the five players who have worn the Madrid shirt on more occasions.

Ballon D’or in Benzema’s sight

In addition to the challenge of winning his first Ballon d'Or, something that it seems no one can take away from him after Benzema's great campaign in 2021/22, the other record he is very close to breaking is that of the player with the most titles in the history of Real Madrid since the founding of the Merengue 120 years ago.
