According to the report from football-espana, Karim Benzema shocked many at the end of last season when he chose to leave Real Madrid in order to begin a new chapter in Saudi Arabia. He joined Al-Ittihad, becoming the first high-profile name since Cristiano Ronaldo to make the move to the Middle East.JAMB Result
However, his first six months have been far from ideal. Al-Ittihad have massively underperformed on all fronts, and Benzema has taken plenty of slack from fans and the media because of this. His own performances have suffered too, which has led to personal problems.NYSC Portal
