Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring against his 33rd La Liga team on Saturday. 
The French forward netted in the 48th minute against Leganes to run his total to 33 teams scored against, one better than Ronaldo's 32 in his time with Madrid. 
Unsurprisingly, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi leads the list having scored against 36 different teams in La Liga during his career. 
Athletic Club striker Aritz Aduriz has netted against 35 La Liga sides in his career, making him the second highest on the list, level with Madrid legend Raul. 
Former Barcelona star Julio Salinas, having scored against 34 different sides, is third in the standings while Benzema is level with the likes of Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez and Espanyol icon Raul Tamudo on 33. 
Benzema's first put Madrid out in front and he doubled the lead and his personally tally on the night with a second just after the hour mark.
Sergio Ramos netted from the penalty spot to make it 4-1 to the home side as Los Blancos rolled to a comfortable win. 
Gareth Bale netted Madrid's opener before on-loan Southampton striker Guido Carrillo levelled for Leganes from the penalty spot.
Benzema is the current top goalscorer in La Liga so far this season, having netted four times under new Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) are confident they can tempt the Everton winger, even though he is a regular for the Three Lions’ Under-21 side. London-born Lookman is eligible to play for the Super Eagles through his parents. But Southgate remains confident they can keep the 20-year-old, who had an impressive spell on loan at Germany’s RB Leipzig last season. “I know every country is quite aggressive in their recruiting and I know they have always had an interest in him, but he is playing and has been in our squads, the 20s, 21s. “So in terms of encouragement through game time, we are doing as much as we possibly can,” Southgate told the UK Mirror

Nigeria Must Account For Victims Of ‘Enforced Disappearance’, Says Amnesty International In a statement issued on Thursday to mark the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the human rights group accused the government of holding several persons in secret detention facilities without charge or trial across the country. “So many families are still searching for loved ones who have not been seen for many years,” the Director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, said. “In some cases, families live with the pain of not knowing whether their loved ones are alive or dead.” She added, “It’s time the government did the right thing – and either release these detainees or charge them with a recognisable criminal offence in a fair trial without recourse to death penalty.” Ojigho accused the government of using enforced disappearance as a tactic to “silence critics and instil fear” in civilian populations whom she said were facing the double threat of a...
