Karim Benzema was in hot form as he scored a stunning seven-minute hat-trick against Real Valladolid, as Madrid won the tie 6-0.

Benzema took his tally to 22 goals for this season, and in so doing, he set a club record in being the first player to have scored 20+ goals in 11 seasons with the club.

Madrid legends Raul and Alfredo di Stefano had managed to score 20 or more goals in 10 seasons in the previous record, but none had done it for 11 years.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo who remains the club’s greatest scorer did not achieve this feat, as he didn’t play for up to ten seasons at Real Madrid.

Benzema heads into Wednesday’s El Clasico clash in fine form.
