Valencia's visit to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu could be a very special occasion for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

The 34-year-old currently has 299 goals for Los Blancos and he is keen to reach the 300 goal milestone as soon as possible.

He has a good chance to do so against Saturday's opponents having scored 18 times in 25 games against Valencia.

Sitting pretty as LaLiga Santander's top scorer, Benzema has every chance to score goal number 300 and cement his place among Real Madrid legends.

An impressive feat given the criticism he has received throughout his time in the Spanish capital.

Especially when Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were to either side of him, Benzema came under criticism for not being at the same level as two of the world's best players at the time.
