JAKARTA - Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is keeping hope in the hunt for the top scorer title in the 2021/2022 Champions League. The French player continues to stick to the classy record of Bayern Munich bomber, Robert Lewandowski.
Karim Benzema continued to stick to Robert Lewandowski after the player of Algerian descent contributed one goal in the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, April 13, WIB, Real Madrid lost 2-3.
Benzema scored a goal in extra time, in the 96th minute to be exact. That goal not only brought Real Madrid to the semifinals, but also made Benzema now has 12 goals.
The goal against Chelsea also has the potential to clear the way for Benzema to win the golden boot. This is because Lewandowski who topped the list of top scorers failed to go further in the Champions League.
Lewandowski has scored 13 goals in the Champions League. However, the coffers of his goals will no longer be able to increase because Bayern Munich were eliminated by Villarreal with an aggregate of 1-2.
Under Lewandowski and Benzema there is the name of the Ajax Amsterdam player, Sebastien Haller with 11 goals. Liverpool striker, Mohamed Salah, has only scored 8 goals so far, followed by RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku with 7 goals.
