Benzema shuts down Al-Hilal league omission talk, says ‘This will only happen in your dreams’ | OneFootball

Karim Benzema has dismissed talk that he could be left out of Al-Hilal’s Roshn League squad, moving to quash speculation over his role.

The player said in a post that “This will only happen in your dreams”, a mocking put-down of claims he would be kept solely for the AFC Champions League Elite.

His response followed an Instagram video by content creator Mimi Rivera on the subject.

Recent chatter had centred on Al-Hilal assessing a move for a new foreign striker and doubts over his first six months.

Benzema’s comment was widely shared by Al-Hilal fans, some taking it as him settling the debate, others reading it as a show of commitment before the new season.

Al-Hilal face a demanding campaign and talk of reinforcing the attack with world-class names has not gone away. Benzema wants to turn the page on a tough start, rediscover his best form and help drive the push for every trophy.
