"Al Ittihad" became the champion: the star team led by Benzema created history!

On May 15, in the 32nd round of the Saudi Arabian Championship, Al Ittihad defeated Al Raed away from home, officially formalizing the championship with two rounds left to play. In the match, the players of the Jeddah club showed a high level of play on the opponent's field and won 3:1.

Although the first goal in this match was scored by O. Gonzalez for the hosts in the 9th minute, Al Ittihad players quickly took control of the game and did not leave the opponent's goal unanswered. In the 21st minute, Dutch star Steven Bergwijn equalized the score. In the 40th minute, experienced Portuguese midfielder Danilo Pereira scored the second goal, putting his team ahead. At the beginning of the second half, more precisely in the 47th minute, Abdurrahman Al-Aboud scored the third goal, which decided the fate of the game.

After this victory, Al Ittihad increased its points to 77 and moved 9 points ahead of its closest pursuer, Al Hilal. Thus, the club officially won the 10th championship in its history and took a worthy place among the most awarded clubs in the history of the country's football.

The main face of Al Ittihad this season was, of course, the French star Karim Benzema. As the captain and leader of the team, Benzema not only stood out with his high-skill play, but also became a unifying force for young and experienced players on the field.

The head coach of the team, Laurent Blanc, organized the team at a high level this season and managed to maximize the individual potential of each player. This ultimately became a decisive factor in the team's victory.

The fans of the Jeddah club are celebrating this victory as a big holiday. For them, this season will be remembered for a long time, because the club celebrated its 10-year championship anniversary in a worthy way.
