FranceCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Karim Mostafa Benzema is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for the Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. Regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time, Benzema is known for his creativity, technical skills, vision and versatility on the field. He won 25 trophies with Real Madrid, including four La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey titles, and five UEFA Champions League titles. He has scored over 500 career goals for club and country, and is Real Madrid's second-highest goalscorer after Cristiano Ronaldo and its third-highest assist provider after Míchel and Paco Gento. In the Champions League, Benzema is both the all-time French top goalscorer (90) and assist provider (29). He is also one of the few players in football history with 1,000 or more official appearances. — Wikipedia

16 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
