Karim Benzema is back to being Karim Benzema, and today, he dares to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo's presence in the Saudi Pro League, where they are the two top scorers of the current season.

The French forward has overcome the injuries that kept him intermittently off the field and is gradually regaining one of his best versions. We could say he is living his best moment since joining Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid.

How many goals do Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo have?

Both players, who made history at Real Madrid, are the top scorers in the Saudi Arabian league with 16 goals, a battle that seems likely to continue until the end of the season.

One area where there is a clear difference is in the number of assists. Benzema has seven assists, the same as the best playmaker of Al-Nassr (Cristiano Ronaldo's team), a title held by Sadio Mané.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Bad Run

A piece of news that doesn’t favor the Portuguese forward is that he has now gone three matches without scoring, with his last of the 16 goals coming against Al-Feiha, one of the bottom teams in the competition.

It will be against Al-Wahda where Cristiano will try to regain the lead in the scoring table, waiting for what Benzema can do against Al Khaleej Club, one day later.
