He has scored 157 goals for Real Madrid and 27 for his national team. Although this is a grand achievement, 250 goals is almost small compared to Cristiano Ronaldo’s total of 531 goals all time.

But this goal and achievement shall not be overlooked. Not only because 250 goals is, relative to the average or good player, is an extremely great achievement. But it was also a great goal. For Benzema to finish after the hop on the cross is a different level.
