Benzema's strange appearance

French striker Karim Benzema attracted attention when he appeared at Al-Ittihad Club's training session with a strange appearance.

Benzema's new look.

In the training photos posted by Al Ittihad Club in preparation for the new season, Karim Benzema attracts attention with his bushy beard and somewhat unkempt hair, a far cry from the dashing look he had when he played for Real Madrid. However, that sloppy appearance does not overshadow the French striker's top form in the Saudi Pro League.

While Cristiano Ronaldo continued to demonstrate his goal-scoring instinct with 25 goals to win the Golden Boot for the second consecutive time, Benzema made an even more comprehensive mark. He scored 21 goals, assisted 9 times, directly contributing to 30 goals of Al Ittihad, thereby helping the team win the national championship for the 14th time.

Benzema's biggest highlight was his double in the King's Cup final, where Al Ittihad beat Al Qadsiah 3-1. This excellent performance helped Benzema beat Ronaldo to win the Player of the Season award - a testament to his outstanding influence in the Al Ittihad team.

The current success is all the more valuable when one recalls Benzema’s turbulent first season in Saudi Arabia. During that time, he was constantly injured, questioned about his professional attitude and even had tensions with the club’s leadership. But at 37, Benzema showed the qualities of a champion: overcoming pressure, uniting his teammates and becoming an irreplaceable leader on the pitch.

With a contract that runs until 2026, Benzema has shown no signs of slowing down. His form and influence continue to be the biggest support for Al Ittihad's ambition to defend the title in the new season.
