There may be some people that want to see him leave Los Blancos this summer, and even with all his flaws, Karim Benzema has already secured his way in UEFA Champions League history.
The French ace gave Los Blancos a lifeline during their match against Napoli, as he scored the equalizer just as his team started dominating the ball. By doing that, he became the French player with the most UCL goals in history. The previous owner of that record was legendary striker Thierry Henry, who sent the ball into the back of the net 50 times in Champions League matches.
