🚩🏟️Karim Benzema tells Vinicius Junior his four home truths in Saudi Arabia: “He must not…”

After his visit to the Real Madrid team playing in the 2025 Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, Karim Benzema revealed details about his exchange with Vinicius Junior. At the centre of several controversies in recent months, the Brazilian star received valuable advice from the Madrid legend.

Very attached to Real Madrid, the club that introduced him to the world, Karim Benzema continues to show his affection. Despite an unexpected and painful departure in 2023, when he decided to secure his financial future in Saudi Arabia, the French striker remains in the hearts of Madrid fans. While waiting for a potential return to Madrid to play an ambassadorial role or something else, KB9 continues to make waves with Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League. This week, after another gem of a performance against Al Hilal, Benzema is dedicating his time to the Real Madrid team, which is currently in Jeddah for the 2025 Spanish Super Cup.

Indeed, after a first visit to his former teammates at the hotel, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner attended the competition’s semi-final on Thursday evening against Mallorca (3-0). While he took the opportunity to meet up with Kylian Mbappé, with whom a flat relationship is suspected, Karim Benzema mainly spent time with close friends like Vinicius Junior. Amidst media turmoil over the past few months, due to his fiery temperament, which is believed to have cost him the 2024 Ballon d’Or, the young Brazilian striker received valuable advice from the Nueve.

In an interview with Marca, Benzema shared a glimpse of what was discussed with the Madrid players during his visit. “We mostly talked like friends. It’s funny, but we talked more about life than football. It was pleasant. I watch the matches, and we talk a little. With Vinicius, for example, we spoke about the Ballon d’Or, but ultimately it was a discussion with everyone, about simple things, about life,” said KB9 before revealing the advice he gave to Vinicius.

The valuable advice for Vinicius Junior

Alongside the debates about his fiery character, which has earned him significant setbacks, such as the recent two-match suspension in La Liga and the heavy fine imposed by the league, the Brazilian talent was urged to focus on his on-field performances to win the ultimate individual trophy that crowns the careers of great footballers. “I told Vini not to pay attention to everything that’s said. Not to lower his intensity because he’s the best player in the world, and one day, he will win the Ballon d’Or.”

This is valuable advice that the Madrid star should take to heart. This Sunday, he will once again be in the spotlight with the big final of the 2025 Spanish Super Cup, which will be played against their great rivals, FC Barcelona. In this match, which promises to be electric as always in a Clasico, Vinicius will need to showcase a high level of football and refrain from provoking or clashing with his opponents.

It must be said, despite his talent, Vini still struggles with emotional management, which prevents him from being where he should be. Let’s hope Benzema’s advice bears fruit for the happiness of Madrid fans.
