Karim Benzema and his club Al Ittihad suffered a crushing defeat against Al Hilal on Sunday in the quarter-final of the Arab Champions Cup. After the match, the Frenchman headed to Mecca.
The loss against Al Hilal was a significant blow for Karim Benzema, who is in his first season with the Saudi club. The former Real Madrid striker was less inspired and even missed a penalty, much to the disappointment of the team’s fans, as they ultimately lost 3-1.
Seeking solace and spiritual rejuvenation, the French striker went to Mecca after the game. A video of him at the holy site was shared on social media, confirming his presence at this revered place in the Muslim faith.
As a believer, Benzema seeks to find strength and spiritual renewal to overcome this disappointment and return in top form on the field. Fans and observers hope to see him back soon, shining once again on the football pitches of the Arabian Peninsula.
