Karim Benzema yesterday not only wrote his name into the history pages of Madrid's "Real" club, but also the UEFA Champions League. The 30-year-old striker scored two goals against Plzen's "Viktoria" and helped his team achieve a 5-0 victory. With his first goal, K. Benzema crossed the 200-goal mark for "Real" club, where only six other players have scored more goals than the striker. In total, representing the "White" team in 429 matches, the Frenchman has scored 201 goals and won 16 trophies. Benzema's two goals against "Viktoria" secured his place at the top of the most productive French footballers list. The striker scored 60 goals in 112 matches, leaving Thierry Henry behind him. Until now, the best result belonged to London's "Arsenal" legend - he had scored 59 goals, although it took him 140 matches. K. Benzema has already scored nine goals in 17 matches this season.
