Karim Benzema clashes with Morocco

Former Real Madrid player and current member of Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, Karim Benzema, is embroiled in a clash with Morocco!

Tensions have been escalating between Karim Benzema and Abderrazak Hamdallah, a player for the Moroccan national team, both at Al-Ittihad, where the two forwards are engaged in a heated media war.

Since Benzema’s arrival at Al-Ittihad last summer, cohabitation with Abderrazak Hamdallah has become increasingly difficult. While the Frenchman came to Saudi Arabia as a global superstar, the Moroccan was already a legend in the local league, impressing with his goal-scoring prowess.

While Benzema arrived at Al-Ittihad with an impressive track record, the reality on the pitch has been more challenging. While Hamdallah continued to score regularly, Benzema struggled to find his best form. The contrasting performances of the two forwards have heightened tensions within the club.

The situation reached a critical point when the Saudi press reported that Benzema was unhappy with his usage and considering leaving the club. His criticisms of the team and his own performance only fueled the flames of an already simmering conflict.

The sharp statements didn’t stop there. Hamdallah’s brother openly criticized Benzema on social media, questioning his professionalism and highlighting his failures on the field. In response, Benzema’s brother sarcastically added fuel to the fire of an already explosive rivalry. “Karim Benzema, you’re playing on the left now? It’s a crime! It makes no sense. Football must be respected,” he wrote on his Instagram account.

The Saudi press quickly relayed these heated exchanges, labeling the situation as a “war” between the two strong-willed players. As Al-Ittihad struggles through a difficult period on the field, this quarrel only adds to the instability within the club.

The end of the season looks tense for Al-Ittihad, and Karim Benzema’s future is more uncertain than ever. His potential departure in the upcoming transfer window is likely to provoke strong reactions among supporters and mark a turning point in the club’s history.
