Having scored 236 goals, Benzema is the fourth most fertile player in La Liga

– Nick hattrick Karim Benzema in Real Madrid’s 4-2 win over Almeria on Saturday (29/4/2023) night made him pass Hugo Sanchez as the fourth highest scorer in the history of La Liga or the Spanish League with 236 goals.

Benzema scored twice from close range after receiving assists from Brazilian wingers Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. The third goal was scored by the French player from the spot after Lucas Vazquez was fouled by Largie Ramazani.

Only Lionel Messi (474), Cristiano Ronaldo (311) and Zarra (252) have scored more goals in Spain’s top flight than the 35-year-old former France striker.

This victory brought Real Madrid, who are in second place, to get closer to Barcelona, ​​who are at the top of the standings with eight points.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are back to winning ways ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Manchester City on May 9.

Almeria pulled one back in the dying seconds of the first half, with Ramazani making amends after conceding a penalty by crossing into the box for Lazaro Vinicius to finish.
