Karim Benzema scored a brace as Real Madrid edged Elche in a La Liga encounter on Wednesday night.

The goals saw the Baloon d’or winner overtaking Los Blancos legend, Raul Gonzales in the La Liga scoring chart for the club.

Benzema now has 230 efforts to his name in the Spanish top flight.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo has more goals for Real Madrid, who is some way clear at the top of that chart with 311 strikes on his remarkable CV.

That leaves Benzema 81 goals short of his former team-mate, with it unlikely he will get close to the No.1 spot at 35 years of age, but he remains a talismanic presence at Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti was quick commend the trailer for the feat.

“He is much more than just a striker. He is a very complete player. He has a fantastic career and hopefully he will keep adding to it,” the Italian said.

When it comes to the all-time top scorers in La Liga, Benzema now sits fifth and would look to close in on the top three – although Ronaldo remains beyond reach and Barcelona icon Lionel Messi is out of sight at the top of the pile on 474 efforts.
