Since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in the summer of 2018, the 35 year old has stepped into the Portuguese goal-scoring shoes and is gradually drawing closer to a record of high magnitude.<\/p>\n<p>For context, Benzema\u2019s latest brace at Anfield took his overall goal tally for Los Blancos to 341 in 629 appearances. He is currently the club\u2019s second all time record scorer behind Cristiano Ronaldo who notched 450 goals in 438 appearances for the club across nine seasons. To catch up with the Portuguese phenomenon, Benzema must now score 109 goals, 110 in order to go ahead.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/76368f1eff814b87b72bf792be12776f\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Breaking Ronaldo\u2019s record is probably a challenge Benzema isn\u2019t aiming at, but it would certainly elevate his status at Madrid if he can pull it off. The France International is the closest player that can threaten Ronaldo\u2019s record, but the only challenge would be whether his increasing age would afford him enough time to break a 450 goal record. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear Esteemed Readers, What Are Your Thoughts On This?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Iamyunqtinq (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
