Harassed by Darmanin, Benzema responds on the pitch!

Karim Benzema is currently performing very well with his Saudi club Al-Ittihad.

Karim Benzema may have changed continents last summer, but not his habits. The former French international continues to pile up goals like pearls. He signed another one on Thursday evening during the match between his team Al Ittihad and Al Hazem.

Benzema finds his cruising speed

At the 26e minute and on a pass from his compatriot N’Golo Kanté, KB9 managed to get rid of a defender and then deceive the opposing goalkeeper with a shot from the right. This achievement is his fifth in the Saudi Pro League.

Five goals that the former Madrid player has scored in his last seven matches. Certainly proof that he is not at all disturbed by the news and the controversies concerning him which are currently polluting the French media. He is fully focused on his football and that’s good.

Benzema therefore has five pawns in the Saudi league. But he is still far from the top of the scorers rankings. He is only tenth, six points less than his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. He is, moreover, also surpassed by his compatriot Moussa Dembélé from Al-Ettifaq (7 goals).
