Benzema, an "absurdity" denounced

Three months after his signing for Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema believes that the Saudi Arabian championship is on the way to becoming the best league in the world. Quite simply.

After an incredible 14-year career at Real Madrid, with whom he was Spanish champion 4 times and above all winner of the Champions League 5 times, Karim Benzema is well placed to assess the quality of a championship. The 2022 Ballon d’Or thus praises the Saudi Arabian championship, which now plays with Fabinho or N’Golo Kanté at Al-Ittihad, the reigning champion.

“ The Saudi championship is on the verge of becoming the best league in the world. This will be the case if the number of professional players in teams increases. This will increase the development of championna more and moret”, launched “KB9” on this subject, Sunday, on the eve of the first Asian Champions League match against a team from Uzbekistan, AGMK.

Cristiano Ronaldo, at Al-Nassr, is now accompanied by Sadio Mané, Marcelo Brozovic or Aymeric Laporte, while Neymar has joined Al-Hilal led by Yassine Bounou, Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic Savic or Aleksandar Mitrovic. The financial power of the 4 major clubs supported by the sovereign fund somewhat unbalances this championship which is revealed a little more each weekend.
