A well-deserved success overall. Luis de la Fuente’s men impressed most observers with their remarkable quality of play. A style of play that charmed Al-Ittihad’s French striker Karim Benzema.
The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner did not hide his admiration for the Spanish triumph during an interview with the newspaper Brand.
” Very good from the first game. His way of playing, his attitude, his football. Spain has always had a game of touches, of movement, but this time they deserved the title from the first game. They were the best team and as such they must be applauded. They were the big winners, the best team,” he confessed. Words that should please the Spanish supporters.
Currently, the former Real Madrid player is under contract with Saudi club Al-Ittihad until June 2026. Despite a difficult first season with some tensions with his former coach (Marcelo Gallardo), the Frenchman should continue in the Saudi championship. This season, he will be coached by his former coach in Blue, namely Laurent Blanc.
