La Liga officials officially confirmed on September 16 that Real Madrid striker Benzema is in the top ten of La Liga's all-time top scorers list, which is also the only player in the top ten who still plays in La Liga.
In the summer of 2009, Florentino, who successfully ran for the presidency of Real Madrid, made a huge wave in the transfer market, signing the premier league, Serie A and Ligue 1 stars. Looking back at the stars who joined Real Madrid at that time, Kaka left Real Madrid as early as 2013, Xavi Alonso moved to Bayern in 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018, and only Benzema remained at Real Madrid.
This season marks Benzema's 13th season at Real Madrid, and in the previous 12 seasons, he has only been unable to achieve goals in double figures in two seasons, and the rest of the season has maintained a stable double-digit output. The 33-year-old Benzema contributed five goals and four assists in four La Liga starts this season, provoking the team's attack.
In last week's match against Celta Vigo, Benzema scored a hat-trick to tie and overtake Valencia star Edmundo Suarez to be in the top 10 of La Liga's all-time top scorers.
Looking at the 9 people in front of Benzema, although Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are far ahead in terms of goals, Benzema still has the hope of catching up with those Real Madrid and Barca celebrities in front of him.
In ninth place is Spanish striker Painho, who has played for Celta Vigo, Real Madrid, A Coruña and Granada, scoring a total of 212 goals in La Liga.
In 8th place is Enrique Castro, who spent his career mainly at Atlético Gijón and Barcelona, winning the La Liga Golden Boot twice and scoring a total of 212 goals in La Liga.
In seventh place is Barcelona star Cesar Rodriguez, who played for Barca for 16 years, scoring 221 goals in La Liga.
In sixth place is the famous Di Stefano, a man who has scored a total of 227 La Liga goals in his career for the national teams of Argentina, Colombia and Spain.
The fifth is still the most familiar figure, Raul González, who played for Real Madrid for 16 years, scoring a total of 228 La Liga goals and winning numerous titles, and is undoubtedly the flagship figure of Real Madrid.
Fourth place is Hugo Sanchez, a Mexican striker who joined Atletico Madrid in 1981 and Real Madrid in 1985, scoring a total of 234 La Liga goals.
In third place is Telmo Sala, who spent his career mainly at Athletic Bilbao, representing the Basque Lions in La Liga for 15 seasons, leaving 252 goals.
The second place is Cristiano Ronaldo, whose story does not need to be repeated, he surpassed these top scorers in Real Madrid in only 9 seasons, becoming the second top scorer in La Liga history and the top scorer in Real Madrid history.
The first place is Lionel Messi, not to mention the name, if it were not for the chaotic operation of the Barcelona management over the years, Messi would have raised the number of goals in La Liga to more unattainable heights.
The news that Real Madrid announced the renewal of their contract with Benzema until 2023 this summer is undoubtedly an affirmation of him, and he will continue to catch up with his predecessors in the list of all-time goalscorers in La Liga for the next two years.
