Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema's record vs. Barcelona

Ahead of Real Madrid's meeting with Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, Sports Mole looks at Karim Benzema's goalscoring figures against Barca.

Santiago Solari's in-form Real Madrid travel to Camp Nou for the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona on Wednesday evening.

Los Blancos, 19-time winners of this competition, have won five matches in a row in all competitions to get their campaign back on track.

Key to this run of victories has been the goalscoring form of Karim Benzema, who has netted in each of his last four outings and now has 18 for the season in all competitions.

Benzema is expected to lead the line for Madrid in Catalonia in midweek, so with that in mind Sports Mole looks at the Frenchman's goalscoring figures against Barcelona.

Benzema has already come up against Barca on 32 previous occasions in his career, including three times as a Lyon player.

The 31-year-old failed to score in either leg of Lyon's last-16 tie with the La Liga giants in 2008-09 and was also kept off the scoresheet a year earlier in the group stage.

Barcelona have done a good job of keeping Benzema quiet since he arrived in Spanish football a decade ago, as he has scored just seven times across 29 fixtures.

Benzema has fired blanks in the last five league encounters, having started each of those matches, and he has only one goal to his name in four Copa del Rey clashes with this week's opponents.

An underwhelming overall return, then, but the former France international will feel that he is now in the right form to rectify that in this latest high-profile El Clasico showdown.
