In the absence of Casemiro and Militang's sluggish state, the Real Madrid backline was teased by Manchester City, and if it were not for Mahrez holding high the banner of "happiness", I am afraid that more than 4 goals would have been lost. But fortunately, the front-line ace Benzema continued to open the rampage mode, and finally let Real Madrid lose to Manchester City by only 1 goal in a 3-4 score, which made Real Madrid, which had home advantage in the second leg, basically not too disadvantaged. After scoring 2 goals in this game, Benzema has scored 9 goals in the last 4 Champions League games, so the shining data, in addition to making him the biggest favorite of the Ballon d'Or, has the opportunity to strongly impact Ronaldo's multiple Champions League goal records.
The first is the number of Champions League goals in a single season, for this season alone, Benzema's 14 goals have already ranked at the top of the Champions League top scorers list, and among the players whose teams have not yet been eliminated, Salah has 8 goals, Danjuma has 6 goals, and Mahrez has 6 goals, which means that it is not difficult for Benzema to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season. However, looking at the entire history of the Champions League, Benzema's 14 Champions League goals in a single season can only rank in the fifth place, messi also scored 14 goals in the 11-12 season, and the third and fourth goals were both 15 goals, created by Ronaldo in the 17-18 season and Levan in the 19-20 season. The second and top positions were created by Ronaldo, with 16 goals in the 15-16 season and 17 goals in the 13-14 season.
That is to say, Benzema is still 3 goals away from the champions league history single season goal record, given that Real Madrid only has a maximum of 2 Champions League games to play, and generally in the final both sides will play very conservatively, it is not easy to produce too many goals, so if you want to equalize or even break this, the record held by C Ronaldo is actually more difficult, but it is still within the expected range. Then the second record is after the Champions League restructuring, the number of knockout goals in a single season, Karim Benzema scored 2 more goals, after raising his knockout stage goals to 9 goals, he has surpassed Messi with 8 goals in the 11-12 season, and 8 goals in the 13-14 season, and is currently very close to the 10-goal record set by Ronaldo in the 16-17 season. If Benzema can continue the rampage pattern, the probability of equalizing or even breaking this record is very high.
The last record is the champions league all-time top scorer list, benzema is currently ranked 4th in the list with 85 goals, and is only one goal away from Lewan in front of him, so it is not difficult to enter the top three of the list. However, to rise to the difficulty of the 2nd or even 1st, it is a fool's dream, because messi scored 125 goals in the second place, and Ronaldo scored 140 goals in the first place. The gap with Ronaldo's 55 goals, combined with Benzema's age of 34 years, makes this chase seem meaningless.
