Karim Benzema, the incredible revenge

Accused of being “lazy” by his coach Nuno Espirito Santo, whose skin he ended up killing, Benzema took revenge on the field.

Karim Benzema was the main instigator of Al-Ittihad’s great success against Abah Club (4-2), Friday during the 13th day of the Saudi championship.

Involved in all four of his team’s goals, the 2022 Ballon d’Or scored a hat-trick and sent an assist to Coronado on a roulette wheel.

KB9 notably scored his seventh and eighth goals in the league, two less than the top scorer in the Pro League, his former friend Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is undoubtedly his best performance since his arrival in Saudi Arabia. And it’s not just aesthetic. In the standings, Al-Ittihad is fifth, 11 points behind the leader, Al-Hilal. Abha Club is 13th.
