The consecutive goals scored for Al-Ittihad in recent times have proven that Benzema still has a lot to contribute to world football.

The French striker’s goal in the 49th minute was not only an important opening goal, but also the trigger for a rain of goals for the home team. Benzema’s cool finishing ability and subtle tactical vision once again made football fans admire.

With 6 goals in the last 5 matches, Benzema is having a dream start in the Saudi Pro League 2024/25 season. His hat-against Al-Wehda on September 15 became the clearest proof of his high form.

Currently, the French striker is ranked second in the list of players with the most goals in the tournament, only 2 goals behind Aleksandar Mitrović. In the 2024/25 Saudi Pro League standings, Al-Ittihad also temporarily took the lead with 12 points, but played 1 more match than Al Hilal.

Compared to his first year playing in Saudi Arabia, Benzema has completely transformed. In the 2023/24 season, the former Real Madrid star only scored 9 goals in 21 matches. His achievements have caused him to be heavily criticized. Some people even said that Benzema did not show his dedication to the club.

But the wind changed in Benzema’s second year playing for Al-Ittihad. Scoring 6 goals in 5 matches in the Saudi Pro League, the 36-year-old star proved that age is just a number and that he is still one of the best attacking players in the world.
