Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo faced each other in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. The reunions were polite, but not warmer than that.
After playing together for years, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo found themselves as former colleagues. Their encounter during the match between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad was observed closely. The exchange was courteous, but not much beyond that.
« How are you? » Cristiano Ronaldo asked KB9. « Do you like the experience? Different, isn’t it? » CR7 commented. Benzema added, « And you, how are you? » to which Cristiano Ronaldo replied, « Well, I’m calm. »
This interaction doesn’t suggest any rumors of tension, contrary to recent speculations. It appears to be just two players who were once colleagues, not friends.
