Karim Benzema has been the club’s top scorer in the last two seasons with some impressive numbers,
but none of his teammates have got anywhere near him.The Frenchman doesn’t have the privilege of having another goalscorer alongside him, like Cristiano did during his time at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.The Portuguese forward was the club’s highest goalscorer in each of the nine seasons he spent at Real Madrid but,
in each one of those, one of his teammates also scored 20 goals.Benzema did it on six occasions, while Gonzalo Higuain, Gareth Bale and Alvaro Morata achieved that milestone once.
Since Cristiano’s departure, no one has stepped up to shoulder the goalscoring responsibilities alongside Benzema.It was meant to be Bale doing it, but he’s only managed a total of 17 goals in the last two campaigns,
which is lower than the club’s second top scorer during that time – Sergio Ramos on 18.Benzema has taken Cristiano’s goalscoring mantle,
netting a total of 49, which is only three less than the Portuguese has managed himself at Juventus.Elsewhere in Europe, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappe have scored more goals than both of them,
but each of them have teammates who can contribute in that department too. Not Benzema; he’s a lone wolf.If we look at league goals over the last two seasons, Ramos (11 goals) is the Real Madrid player who is closest to the Frenchman on 35. Bale has just 10.
