Benzema, the first Saudi annoyance

Karim Benzema experienced his first disappointment in Saudi Arabia this Saturday evening.

After three matches, three victories and as many goals scored in his new Al-Ittihad colours, Karim Benzema experienced his very first setback this Saturday.

Faced with Al-Hilal in the quarter-finals of the Arab Cup of Champions Clubs, the former Merengue, holder for the occasion like a certain N’Golo Kanté, could not prevent the defeat – therefore the elimination – of his own (1-3).

Milinkovic-Savic, Al Dawsari and Malcom are the scorers of the day for Al-Hilal, when only Romarinho found the fault for Al-Ittihad. Height of the bad evening for KB9, a missed penalty in the last quarter of an hour. A game to forget…
