The goal came as promised on Benzema's 300th shot in uniform for Real Madrid! Florentino himself presented the commemorative jersey, congratulating him on playing alongside legends such as Crowe, Raul and Stefano.
Di Stefano has 308 goals, Raul 323, Crowe 451 and Benzema is closing in on 301+ goals and is on the verge of making history.
While Crowe's 451-goal record seems out of reach, Benzema is within reach of surpassing Stefano and Raul's goal tally.
Real Madrid's steady improvement in La Liga has been more solid compared to Barcelona, who are in the Camp Nou.
The veterans, along with the younger generation such as Vinicius, are at their competitive best.
Benzema has become an indispensable goal-scoring machine for the team during his years at Real Madrid.
Without the change of pace of the national team, Benzema has had more chances to set goals records at club.
Even if he returns to the French national team, the presence of Mbappe and others will not affect his data too much, and doing a good job in the role of a substitute is already enough for him.
At Real Madrid, Benzema is firmly in the starting striker's seat, contributing goals on a consistent basis.
At the ripe old age of 34, his kicking style may change, but speed is no longer his only strength and he has two more seasons to continue to show what he can do.
