Karim Benzema has joined the select club previously composed only of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Like these two superstars, Benzema has now scored against every first-division team which he has faced.

Not a single opponent has been able to keep a lid on the Frenchman. He has racked up a total of 85 goals against 29 different La Liga teams.

Real Sociedad and Málaga are the Real Madrid striker's preferred opponents, having scored six goals against each of these two clubs. As hard as people try to spread the myth, it cannot be said that Benzema only scores against the weaker sides. One of his favourite victims is Barcelona, with a total of five goals against the 'Azulgranas' - the same tally that he has managed against Sevilla and Granada. He has netted four against six teams: Athletic, Osasuna, Getafe, Rayo, Racing and Almería.

Benzema continues to inscribe his name in the Real history books. Just a week ago, he outscored the original Ronaldo. His idol managed 83 goals in white, and the Frenchman fired home his 84th last weekend against Depor. His strike against Elche puts him on a par with another Real Madrid legend, Juanito, who scored 85 league goals. Benzema has netted 130 goals in all competitions, also equalling Míchel as the 11th highest scorer in the club's history.
