Real Madrid All-time Scoring Leaders in Champions League History

2. Karim Benzema (78 goals)

Someone who was blessed to play on the same pitch as Cristiano Ronaldo gave it his best shot to catch up to his incredible record - That's right, it's Karim Benzema.

The lethal goal-scorer who played for Real Madrid between the years 2009-2023 scored an amazing 78 goals. He also won five Champions League titles during his time, impressive!

Karim Benzema's most memorable Champions League goal has to be his goal in the final against Liverpool, in 2018. He was gifted the ball by Loris Karius, but he used his instinct well to slot home and set Real Madrid up for their 13th Champions League trophy in history.

Truly a Real Madrid legend, Karim Benzema eventually departed the club in 2023, where he joined the emerging league, the Saudi Pro League. He left quite the mark on European football, it must be said.
