Benzema: The Saudi league is poised to be the best competition in the world. Mitrovic compared Al-Hilal to Real Madrid

Karim Benzema is one of the big stars to opt for a move to Saudi Arabia this summer. After a few rounds, he assessed that the Saudi Pro League is poised to be the best in the world.

The season before last, he had the year of his life. With 45 goals and 15 assists, he led Real Madrid to win both La Liga and the Champions League. He crowned his best season of his career by winning the Ballon d’Or by the biggest margin in history.

Last season, mainly due to frequent injuries, was not so good, Benzema scored 27 goals and Real failed to defend a single competition.

Moreover, in the summer, the French striker decided that his time in Madrid had come to an end and he will leave the Santiago Bernabéu after 16 years.

In fact, he received an extremely tempting offer from Saudi Arabia, where he will earn 200 million euros a year. Moreover, he immediately became one of the biggest stars of the competition.

In the Arab Club Champions Cup, Benzema made three appearances for Al-Ittihad in four matches, with a record of 3+2 in six league games.

“The Saudi league is on track to be the best league in the world. This will happen if the number of professional in the teams increases. This will increase the chances of the competition’s development,” said Karim Benzema.

Aleksandar Mitrovic was equally admiring of the Saudi Pro League. “I have no nostalgia for the Premier League. I’m glad I finally came to a big club. Al-Hilal is like Real Madrid in Europe,” the Serbian striker said.
