Real Madrid on Wednesday night recorded another landmark achievement after beating Frankfurt to claim this year’s Super Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who beat Liverpool to win the Champions League in May, took the lead when David Alaba tapped into an empty net before Benzema doubled the Spanish giants’ lead.
The French star, Karim Benzema led his side to victory with 2-0 and became Real Madrid’s second all-time top scorer as Los Blancos eased to UEFA Super Cup glory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
Benzema’s tame strike on the edge of the area after 65 minutes, which was somehow not kept out by Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp, sealed victory for Real Madrid in Helsinki.
It was the Frenchman’s 324th for the club, putting him one goal ahead of Raul in the all-time standings.
But he’s still 126 goals behind the incredible 450 strikes Cristiano Ronaldo managed for the Spaniards.
And at 34 it would take some doing for Benzema to overhaul his old buddy CR7 in Real’s goal standings.
