Benzema puts Cristiano Ronaldo back in his place, the huge clash
Karim Benzema vehemently reacted to a question on the golden shoe of Cristiano Ronaldo after Al-Ittihad got closer to the title of Champion of the Saudi Pro League.

Benzema scored the goal of Al Ittihad's victory against Al ettifaq on a meager score of 3-2 on Sunday. With 68 points in 29 games this season, Al Ittihad has widened a significant gap on his closest rival, Al Hilal, who points to six points from the title, Al Nassr being currently third with 58 goals.

While Al Ittihad is getting closer to the title, the race for the title of top scorer in the championship remains very open. Ronaldo is currently leading the dance with 23 goals for Al Nassr. He is followed by Ivan Toney of Al Ahli and Abderrazak Hamdallah from Al Shabab, both at 19 goals. Benzema is not far behind, occupying fourth place with 18 goals.

However, in the mixed zone after the victory of Al Ettifaq, Benzema clearly indicated that the personal records were secondary. When the race for the title of top scorer was mentioned, he simply said: “JI don't care, my friend. The most important thing is the trophy (SPL) ”.

The title race and that for the top scorer could cross spectacularly during the confrontation between Al Ittihad de Benzema and Al Nassr de Ronaldo, on May 7. This long -awaited confrontation will be a crucial test for the two clubs: Al Ittihad in his quest for the title, and Al Nassr in his quest for support.

However, before the national match, Ronaldo will be back on a field much earlier, because Al Nassr will face the Japanese of Yokohama F. Marinos this Sunday in the AFC Champions League.
