Karim Benzema was none too pleased with a journalist’s attempt at humor following Al-Ittihad’s 0-2 loss to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. The former Real Madrid star faced a reporter armed with a funny photo intended to ride the wave of a popular TikTok trend, but his reaction was anything but amused.
Caught off guard, Benzema shot back, “Do you think you’re funny or what?” He then added, “Take your trend and your thing!” The icy exchange quickly made its rounds on social media, with fans noting the unexpected return of his infamous ‘serious side.’
This type of playful banter is usually meant to lighten the mood and elicit a smile from players, but in Benzema’s case, it fell flat.
Benzema Didn’t Appreciate the Joke…
The viral moment reveals a lot about the seriousness and high standards of the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner. It also raises questions about his sense of humor when faced with a light-hearted jab.
