Karim Benzema Closes In on El Clásico History
Frenchman Reaches Fifth Place on All-Time Scoring List
Madrid, Spain - October 16, 2022
Real Madrid superstar Karim Benzema has etched his name further into El Clásico history, becoming the fifth-highest overall scorer in the legendary rivalry.
The 35-year-old striker has netted a remarkable 16 goals in El Clásico matches throughout his illustrious career. This tally places him above former Barcelona stalwart Andrés Iniesta and alongside Real Madrid icon Alfredo Di Stéfano.
Benzema's latest goal came in Real Madrid's 3-1 victory over Barcelona on October 16, 2022. The Frenchman converted a penalty to give his side the lead in a match that saw him create numerous chances for his teammates.
Benzema's goalscoring prowess in El Clásico has been consistent over the years. He has scored in each of the last six meetings between the two giants, including a brace in Real Madrid's 3-1 victory in the 2020-21 season.
The Frenchman's goalscoring exploits have played a pivotal role in Real Madrid's recent dominance in El Clásico. The club has won four of the last six meetings between the two sides, with Benzema playing a key role in each of those victories.
With his 16 goals, Benzema is now just one goal behind Barcelona legend Luis Suárez on the all-time El Clásico scoring list. The Frenchman has the chance to move into fourth place when Real Madrid and Barcelona meet again in the Copa del Rey in January 2023.
