Benzema has enjoyed an historic Champions League campaign this season. This has been the most prolific the 34-year-old has ever been in his illustrious career, and it is in Europe's premier club competition where he has showcased that best.
The France international has scored 15 goals in the Champions League so far this season, 10 of which have come during the competition's knockout phase. These goals have him tied with Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski on 86 tournament strikes.
Benzema's 10 knockout-stage goals are also a competition record, level with his former Los Blancos teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who also scored 10 knockout stage goals during the 2017/18 season, the last time Real won the Champions League.
No man has scored more goals in the history of the UCL than the Portuguese forward, who has found the back of net 140 times in 183 competition appearances. Ronaldo has won the trophy five times as well, first lifting it during the 2007/08 campaign with Manchester United, before winning it on four more occasions with Real.
His five Champions League victories are equal to the number Barcelona have won in their entire existence. Arguably their greatest ever player though, Lionel Messi, is among the 10 most prolific scorers in the history of the competition.
