He now has the most goals scored in a UCL season up to the semi-final stage alongside Lionel Messi who scored 14 goals for Barcelona in the 2011-12 UCL season. Despite Messi's efforts, Barcelona succumbed to eventual champions, Chelsea 3-2. 

Benzema will go into tonight's game with an aim to set a personal record of exceeding the 14 goals he has scored so far. He comes into the come filled with a lot of confidence knowing that it was his hat-trick that sent Paris Saint Germain parking and also it was his extra-time goal that made Chelsea's comeback unsuccessful. There is no reason as to why the French man can not replicate this tonight under the light of the Bernabeu with the wild Los Blancos fans filled inside.

Tonight, the game between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be one thriller of a game if the first leg goal-scoring record is anything to go by not to mention that players like Karim Benzema will be looking to set their personal record in a UCL campaign.
