Real Madrid, the Spanish champion: Karim Benzema is an exceptional season… and the gold?

Four days after the end of the current exercise, the Frenchman scored 26 goals in 30 league matches, 11 more than his runner-up Ines Onal (Getafe). The ratio should not allow him to reach the brutal standards of the Messi-Ronaldo duo, whose totals have always exceeded 30 units since the 2009-10 season. Only the 2019-2020 season, at the end of which the Argentine scored “only” 25 goals, was an exception in this race of goals that his Portuguese rival has already left for Italy anyway.

Benzema, (many) more goals, many assists

Even Luis Suarez, the only goalscorer able to compete with the two giants in the championship (2015-2016) had to reach 40 units. The departure of the giants put an end to an extraordinary period. Whether Karim Benzema holds this record or whether he is taking advantage of the latest matches to slim his weight will certainly not count in this prestigious list of pichichis. With the exception of the aforementioned three men and Diego Forlan, who was impressive before the onset of ‘La Pulga’ and CR7’s dominance, no other player has ever reached the 30-goal mark in La Liga in the 21st century anyway.

Long in the service of His Majesty Cristiano, always important for teamwork, “KB9” has, this time, reached a form of exuberance. He had never scored like this before in the league. Never recorded so much before. Especially since the increase in his performance in terms of achievements did not affect his ability to deliver the decisive passes. With 11 shows in La Liga, he can also strive for a new personal best, at the moment with 13 shows during the 2012-13 season.

Another possible record, even more prestigious: the number of goals scored in one copy of the Champions League. The brand is owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, author of 17 achievements in 2013/2014. Benzema is fourteen years old, and he plays one or two matches with him. Difficult but not impossible. If successful, the tricolor striker will then reach the 50 pawn bar in all competitions in 2021-2022. Threshold dedicated to the Giants, of whom he is a part, and most Ballons d’Or in recent years.
