Last year, he scored 27 goals in 48 games, where together with Madrid they won the La Liga title.
During the two seasons he has only missed five games due to injury and team rotations.
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, he has returned to the key player in the Spanish team.
In case he is not eventually injured, the Frenchman will break the record in the match against Alaves in the last week of November.
Marcelo had the advantage to break Carlos’ record, but the Brazilian did not show good performance during this time and lost the his place in the first lineup.
The left-back, Marcello has recorded 510 appearances as a Real player. He has played three seasons longer than Benzema in La Liga.
The list with the most appearances with the club jersey is led by Raul Gonzalez, who has 741 games.
