Clasico Night in Jeddah

The French star Karim Benzema, ex-Real Madrid hero, revived his memories as he attended the Al-Ittihad fortress in Jeddah to watch the Super Cup Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, chuckling.

Real Madrid and Barcelona faced off in the final, with a first half that finished 2-2, as Benzema sat in the stand observing, filing updates curiously.

Benzema recalled his memories with Real Madrid, the club that earned him titles; he appeared with Florentino Pérez, Real's president, grinning.

Memories and Milestones

Benzema spent roughly fourteen years with Real Madrid, winning numerous titles including the Champions League; he scored 238 goals in 439 appearances, proof indeed.

He and his Al-Ittihad teammates prepared to face Dimco on Tuesday in 15th Roshen Pro League round, ready.

And Benzema shone for Al-Ittihad, netting a hat-trick as they crushed the opposition 4-0, funny, right? today
