Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema
has joined Zlatan Ibrahimović in tenth place in the list of all-time European
Cup scorers.
Benzema has now registered 43 UEFA
Champions League goals following his effort against Shakhtar Donetsk on
Tuesday, the same as Ibrahimović, who is the only player to have scored for six
different clubs in the competition.
Benzema’s strikes, meanwhile, have
all come for Olympique Lyonnais and Real Madrid. He is now a goal ahead of
Alessandro Del Piero, who only ever represented Juventus in Europe.
Cristiano Ronaldo converted two
penalties in the second half and added a third to reach 80 and move ahead of
Lionel Messi at the top of the table, at least until Barcelona visit Roma on
Wednesday.
