It was a day of celebration, this Thursday, for Karim Benzema. The French striker, last representative of the famous 87 generation still in activity, was in fact celebrating his 37the birthday. An event celebrated with his Al-Ittihad teammates as evidenced by the various photos published on Instagram showing him surrounded by his partners.
The former Madrilenian was thus entitled to a magnificent strawberry cake and various attentions from the Saudi club. The latter did not fail to wish him a happy birthday on Instagram, imitated by several of his partners including Houssem Aouar and Moussa Diaby.
Many of his former teammates also paid tribute to him and wished him a happy birthday, notably at Real Madrid where Lucas Vazquez, Antonio Rüdiger, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Sergio Ramos, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Marcelo, Jesé and Vinicius everyone spoke their sweet words towards the Frenchman.
Karim Benzema has a stubborn grudge
And if Real Madrid, busy celebrating their new trophy won the day before, did not spare a thought for the “nueve”, Olympique Lyonnais took care to celebrate a happy birthday to their former striker And he was the same goes for Gianni Infantino, who paid him a vibrant tribute in a message published on Instragam.
If the players of the French team were rare to mark the occasion, the French team website did not forget to wish a happy birthday to the man with 37 goals in 97 caps. A message which obviously did not affect the Lyonnais. While he tried to relay in Instagram stories all the messages and all the publications in his honor, Karim Benzema superbly ignored that of the Blues. Branded by his dismissal from the 2022 World Cup, KB9 does not seem ready to forgive.
