Benzema Blames Al Ittihad Teammate for Lack of Goals in Saudi Arabia!

The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema shocked everyone when he announced that he would leave Real Madrid and move to Al Ittihad in May 2023. The Frenchman was at the peak of his powers and hence there were a lot of expectations when he moved to Saudi Arabia.

However, Benzema's Arabian dream has just not been good enough so far. Having started brightly, the Frenchman has scored just 15 goals in 30 appearances for Al Ittihad. To make things worse, the former Real Madrid star was also involved in a lot of off-field controversies with Marcelo Gallardo, the Al Ittihad boss.

When asked the reason for his bad form in a talk show called Action with Walid, Benzema has made a dig at this teammates for his lack of goals. The Al Ittihad captain said, "It's because it's not the same game, it's not the same players, I need to be helped. I need help on the pitch. I can't win the game alone. I need a lot of things."

Will this statement lead to more problems at Al Ittihad, who are currently 4th in the Saudi Pro League? Let me know your thoughts...
