Benzema and his nod to Real Madrid: Madridism applauds the gesture

Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, eliminated Al Ittihad, Karim Benzema's team, in the Saudi Super Cup held in Hong Kong. The club led by the Portuguese Real Madrid legend won 2-1 thanks to goals from Sadio Mané and Joao Félix. In addition, the Senegalese forward was sent off in the 25th minute.

Meanwhile, Karim Benzema couldn't find the net, but he led his team once again. Moussa Diaby did score, assisted by Steven Bergwijn, to make it 1-1. However, Cristiano Ronaldo, in a one-on-one, set up his compatriot for the decisive 2-1.

The score could have changed even more, but Joao Félix's second goal was disallowed due to a previous foul by Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, the former Atlético de Madrid player also hit the woodwork.

Al Nassr, runner-up in this tournament last year, will face Al Ahli, led by Matthias Jaissle, on Saturday. The opposing team features standout players such as Kessié, Enzo Millot, Walter Galeo, Mahrez, and Ivan Toney.

Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo is close to winning another trophy and continuing to increase his personal tally of titles. In addition, the Portuguese could also add more and more goals in his career toward 1,000.

Benzema shows his Madridism to the world

Although he hasn't played for Real Madrid for a few years, Karim Benzema has no problem continuing to show his Madridism.

After the latest defeat, the Frenchman left the stadium looking rather serious. While passing through the mixed zone, Karim Benzema didn't stop for any media outlet. However, as he was heading toward the exit, a fan displayed a Real Madrid jersey.

At that moment, Karim Benzema gave a slight smile and signed the jersey without any hesitation. The moment was recorded and has gone viral on social media. It's a gesture that has been well received among Madridists, who have great affection for the current Al Ittihad striker.
