Saudi Arabia: Karim Benzema furious with Houssem Aouar

Al Hilal: Karim Benzema sparks controversy in Saudi Arabia
Karim Benzema is making headlines once again in Saudi Arabia. The Frenchman is reportedly angry with Houssem Aouar.
Just days after his transfer to Al Hilal, Karim Benzema was reunited with his former club Al-Ittihad yesterday in Matchday 23 of the Saudi Pro League. The match started well for Al Hilal as Malcolm opened the scoring early (5', 1-0), but Hassan Kadesh's red card soon left Al-Ittihad a man down.
Houssem Aouar brought Al-Ittihad level in the second half (53', 1-1). Hours after this intense encounter, Karim Benzema shocked his followers by unfollowing Aouar on Instagram. The reason? More details are expected to emerge.
