Cristiano and Benzema Reunited with Goals, a Memorable Celebration and a Message

Cristiano and Benzema met again in a match that had goals, celebrations and memories of Real Madrid

Last Friday, Real Madrid fans took their eyes off Real Madrid for a while and turned their attention to Saudi Arabia. Al-Ittihad and Al Nassr were facing each other in the league, or in other words, Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. And both were the stars of a very special encounter.

Both Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo are the captains of their respective teams. And that led to the fact that in the tunnel to the changing rooms, before stepping onto the field, both had a special greeting . They hugged each other and demonstrated the great friendship that they have between them.

In fact, Benzema himself spoke out after the match about his reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo. “It's good to see Cristiano again, we played together for 9 years at Real Madrid , we scored goals and won titles . And we continue to make the difference” the Frenchman confessed.

Both forwards were key in the three consecutive Champions Leagues that Los Merengues won with Zidane in charge. During that time they were the best pair on the field in the old continent. In fact, they ended up being legends of Real Madrid for the successes they achieved.

A Game with Goals and That Left Several Images to Remember

Beyond the hug that Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo gave each other when they met again, the match left us with more images. With their 2-1 victory, Al-Ittihad maintains its lead and moves Al Nassr away from the fight for the title. And that was despite the fact that they had a draw within their grasp.

The home side took the lead with a goal from Benzema after a good move down the right flank. But their joy was short-lived as the visitors equalized in the next play. After saving the goal on the line, they passed back to CR7 who sent the ball into the back of the net.

And it was in stoppage time that Al-Ittihad again managed to find the reward of the goal to take the three points. It is not surprising that the team went to the stands to celebrate with the fans. In fact, that made nothing of the celebration that Cristiano had made earlier, repeating the calm gesture.
