Benzema Equals Raul’s LaLiga Record, Goes After The Pichichi
Karim Benzema wrote himself into Real Madrid history with two goals against Cadiz on Wednesday night.
The Frenchman scored against his 35th different team in LaLiga Santander, which equals Raul as the most opponents scored against for Real Madrid. Not even Cristiano Ronaldo reached this milestone.
What’s more, Benzema has now scored at least one goal in nine successive appearances in LaLiga Santander, netting 11 in the process.
His goals have contributed to a 12-match unbeaten run for Real Madrid in LaLiga Santander, as they now sit top of the table.
There have been important goals, too, like the backheel flick against Barcelona in the Clasico and the late equaliser against Atletico Madrid in the derby.
This purple patch has also allowed Benzema to arrive to within two goals of Lionel Messi in the Pichichi standings in LaLiga Santander.
