3. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid & France) – 52
Instrumental to Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti, whatever his form Benzema always seems to score the big goals in the big games.
Gradually progressing from a raw, timid striker in his first season in the Spanish capital, Benzema has morphed into an unselfish but deadly forward, complimenting the more greedy Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now integral to the both Los Blancos and France attack, he’s contributed 52 goals and assists in 2014.
