UCL is Benzema's speciality: he has scored in 18 editions
Real Madrid's Karim Benzema has scored in every edition of the Champions League since he made his debut for Olympique Lyon in 2005.
Karim Benzema was a key player in Real Madrid's 5-2 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. The French striker dedicated his brace to former Madrid president Mariano, who passed away recently.
The brace was very special for the Frenchman as he had not yet scored a goal in the Champions League 2022-23.
According to 'Marca', the 35-year-old has scored at least one goal in each of the 18 editions of the Champions League he has played in since making his debut in the competition with Olympique Lyon in 2005.
Lionel Messi is the only player along with Benzema who can boast this achievement. The Argentinian star has also managed to score in 18 editions of the Champions League.
The Champions League is Benzema's speciality as he scored 15 goals last year. He was the top scorer in the competition. Real Madrid could win again this year and the Frenchman could continue to rack up the goals.
