The Frenchman was the protagonist of a video that has gone viral on social networks.

Karim Benzema won all the titles he played for with Real Madrid, his time in Spanish football was marked by goals, assists and magical nights in the Champions League. But after several seasons, he decided to leave Europe and embark on a new experience in Arab football.

After winning his only Ballon d’Or in 2022 and achieving all the group and individual awards in Europe, Benzema was tempted by the 200 million euros per season that Ittihad Jeddah of the Saudi Professional League put on the table.
