During his highly anticipated debut with his new Saudi club Al-Ittihad last Thursday, Karim Benzema shone by scoring a goal. He repeated the feat on Sunday night with a beautiful combination during a match in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
Sunday night, Karim Benzema once again lit up the pitch in the Arab Club Champions Cup while playing for his new club, Al-Ittihad, in an exciting match against the Tunisian club CS Sfaxien. The stadium erupted when Benzema scored a splendid goal, showcasing exceptional technical skill. With almost his back to the goal, he executed a precise pivot shot that left the opposing goalkeeper helpless.
It’s safe to say that the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner didn’t take long to find his rhythm with his new team. In his first match with the Saudi club last Thursday, he already found the net against Esperance de Tunis, in addition to providing an assist. This means he has been directly involved in the last three goals of his team, demonstrating that he hasn’t lost any of his talent and impact on the field.
Moreover, Karim Benzema seems to have found his new partner. After Vinicius Jr in his last two years at Real Madrid, the striker is showing promising chemistry with Abderrazak Hamdallah. Already decisive against Esperance de Tunis, this duo was once again at work for the opening goal on Sunday, one as the passer, the other as the scorer.
