Saudi Pro League Benzema brushes off Ronaldo rivalry ahead of SPL clash

Benzema brushes off Ronaldo rivalry ahead of SPL clash

Karim Benzema isn’t interested in chasing Cristiano Ronaldo for the Saudi Pro League golden boot. After scoring in Al-Ittihad’s 3–2 win over Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday, which pushed his side eight points clear of Al-Nassr, the Frenchman was asked about the top scorer race.

“I don’t want to hear about it, my friend. What matters are the trophies,” he replied, brushing aside the individual rivalry with his former Real Madrid teammate.

Yet destiny has a sense of humor. On May 7, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr will meet in what could be a decisive fixture—not only for the league title but also for bragging rights between the two superstars. With Benzema on 18 goals and Ronaldo leading with 23, all eyes will be on this clash of egos and legends.
