France icon Karim Benzema swapped one Saudi club for another on Monday when joining Al-Hilal from rival Al-Ittihad - a move that could be bad news for Cristiano Ronaldo.
-
The former Ballon d'Or winner has joined Saudi Pro League leader Al-Hilal, which is one point ahead of Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo is still waiting for his first league title since moving to Saudi Arabia in 2022 and has seen his main rival strengthen with the addition of five-time Champions League winner Benzema.
The former Real Madrid striker, a teammate of Ronaldo's at the Spanish giant led Al Ittihad to the title last year, as well as the King’s Cup. Al-Hilal is Saudi Arabia's most successful team with 21 league titles and four Asian Championships.
