Al-Ittihad has an ideal start to this season after winning the first 3 rounds, the last of which was 7-1 against Al-Wehda, a match in which Benzema scored 3 goals.
In an interview with the Saudi League, Benzema was asked about the upcoming Al Hilal match, and he answered by saying, “All matches are important to us.”
He also added, “Every upcoming match for us is a final, so we will fight against Al Hilal and try to give the best possible performance.”
As for Al-Ittihad’s good start and the big win over Al-Wehda, the Real Madrid legend said, “We gave a great performance and did a good job, both us and the fans. It was important to win in this way and it was a great night for everyone.”
He concluded, “It is important now to get some rest and then start preparing well for the Al Hilal match.”
It is worth noting that Al Hilal defeated Al-Ittihad 7 times in 4 different tournaments last season, with Benzema participating in most of these matches.
