Benzema is already the top French goalscorer for a non-French club

Gone are the 171 goals scored by David Trezeguet with Juventus, or the 228 of Thierry Henry at Arsenal. Karim Benzema has broken this record, with his brace against Galatasaray this past Wednesday he has reached 231 with Real Madrid.

He was already the top French goalscorer before this game. He drew with Henry with his penalty against Leganes, and now he and now he only needs to score more and more to make his figure unreachable.

The first active player on this list is the fourth-placed Antoine Griezmann who, despite having scored 133 goals with Atletico Madrid, it seems difficult to approach the mark of Benzema, unless the situation changes radically at Barca and he overtakes his record at Atletico.

Benzema, however, is still far from catching Henry when it comes to more goals scored outside France, as he hung up his boots with a whopping 330 goals between Arsenal, Barcelona and New York RB.
