In Karim Benzema’s final game for Real Madrid, he accomplished a remarkable feat by breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most goals scored against Athletic Bilbao in the history of La Liga.
Playing his farewell match at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, the French striker left a lasting impression. Despite his impending departure from the club when his contract expires later this month, Benzema made history during this significant encounter under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.
In the 72nd minute, Benzema converted a penalty kick against Athletic Club, solidifying his place in the record books. With this goal, he now holds the prestigious record for the most goals scored by any player in La Liga history against Athletic Club, with an impressive tally of 18.
Surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 17 goals during his nine seasons at Real Madrid, Benzema has etched his name in the annals of Spanish football history. This remarkable achievement further highlights his exceptional skill and impact during his tenure at the club.
