Madrid's "Real" club managed to break their winning streak on Tuesday, and Karim Benzema broke his goal drought. K. Benzema scored a goal against Plzen's "Viktoria", helping Madrid's "Real" to a 2:1 victory over their opponents. Although this result did not satisfy most fans, the "whites" finally managed to secure three points after five consecutive winless matches. K. Benzema stood out right at the beginning of the match. This was his first goal in this Champions League season, but it also made him the third player to score in the tournament for 14 consecutive seasons. His accurate strike into the "Viktoria" goal lifted the Frenchman up in the list of the most prolific Champions League players. With 57 goals, he climbed to fourth place, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy. To reach the third position, K. Benzema will have to work hard - another legendary Real Madrid striker, Raul Gonzalez, is sitting there with 71 goals.
