His first goal against Levante was a watershed moment in Real Madrid history.

Benzema’s goal against Levante was his 323rd in Real Madrid colors, matching Raul Gonzalez’s record as the club’s second-highest scorer.

The France international is now only one goal behind Ronaldo, who scored 451 goals for Real Madrid.

Benzema is Real Madrid’s third-highest scorer in LaLiga Santander history, with 219 goals to Raul’s 228 and Ronaldo’s 312.

The 34-year-old, who is improving with age, has now scored 44 goals in all competitions this season, breaking his previous best total of 32 goals in 2011/12 and 2020/21.

The former Lyon star scored 425 goals in his career (323 for Real Madrid, 66 for Lyon, and 36 for France), making him the highest-scoring Frenchman in history, surpassing Thierry Henry’s total of 411.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.
