Bad tongues will say that it's easy to score when you're surrounded by players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco or Gareth Bale. However, the regularity shown Karim Benzema at the forefront of Real Madrid's attack for ten years is impressive.
With 155 goals scored in La Liga since 2010, the former Lyonnais is the top French goalscorer of the decade in the five main European championships. Everything except a surprise, even if KB9 has never been Pichichi in Spain.
According to Opta statistics, Karim Benzema is 14 goals ahead of Antoine Griezmann. The world champion of FC Barcelona has scored 141 times in La Liga with three different shirts, those of Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Barca.
Alexandre Lacazette points to third place. Currently hard at Arsenal (6 goals this season), he has scored 100 of his 132 league goals with his former club, Olympique Lyonnais.
Behind the Gunner, Kevin Gameiro has always been effective, regardless of his clubs in the 2010s (118 goals with Lorient, PSG, Sevilla FC, Atletico and Valencia).
Wissam Ben Yedder, with 114 goals, is only 4 goals short of the Valencian. At 29, the current top scorer in Ligue 1 with Monaco (13 goals) can hope to grab places in the years to come.
Top 5 of the best French scorers in the top 5 European leagues in the decade:
1-Karim Benzema: 155 goals
2-Antoine Griezmann: 141
3-Alexandre Lacazette: 132
4-Kevin Gameiro: 118
