Be it in La Liga or the Champions League, the Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has managed to inscribe his name on top. The No. 9 breaks the record for most goals scored by a Frenchman in a single Champions League campaign. His brace for the Los Blancos’ 1st leg UCL fixture against Chelsea provided him to achieve the climacteric.

Benzema scored two goals for the 13-times European champions on Thursday both coming by beautiful headers within three minutes that were too much to handle for the opponent’s goalkeeper.

The France international has now netted 36 of total goals this season for Real Madrid. Benzema has played a vital role throughout the season as well as whenever the team needed him. The 34-year-old from France now achieves the record of the fourth player in history to strike 80+ goals in the competition.
