He has lost none of his speed of execution. Sunday, in the Arab Cup of champion clubs, Karim Benzema scored a magnificent goal with his new Saudi team Al-Ittihad, against the Tunisians of CS Sfaxien. Served close to the penalty spot, the former Real Madrid striker controlled the leather in extension, before continuing with a vicious and precise shot at ground level, which touched the post before crossing the line. The goalkeeper and the opposing defenders remained stoic.
Benzema also had the good idea to combine business with pleasure by scoring the only goal of the match (63rd), allowing Al-Ittihad to sign their second success in this group stage. During the first day, against Espérance Tunis on Thursday, he had already been involved in both goals for his team (2-1 victory), distilling an assist for Abaderrazak Hamdallah before scoring with a curled shot from the exterior of the surface.
At 35, the former French international thus signs an idyllic debut in Saudi Arabia, two weeks before the resumption of the local championship. His club is also defending champion.
