Martin Odegaard's man-of-the-match performance was the highlight of Arsenal's 3-0 Community Shield demolition of Manchester City and showed early signs that the Gunners' chief creator might be returning to his best after a frustrating 2025-26. Although Arsenal won the Premier League last season, knee and shoulder problems stopped their Norwegian playmaker from reaching his very top level. On Sunday in Cardiff, Odegaard capped an all-action display with a brilliant third goal when his dummy left City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on the floor.

Cristiano Ronaldo could suffer a major blow in the Saudi Pro league as the conditions for an eventual departure of Karim Benzema from Al Hilal following the substitution drama have reportedly emerged. Cristiano Ronaldo has served as the marquee face of the Saudi Pro League since his arrival in 2022, playing a pivotal role in elevating the league’s global profile to attract star power, with Karim Benzema standing as one of his most prominent acquisitions. However, following recent sideline friction over a match substitution, reports indicate that conditions surrounding Benzema‘s potential exit from Al Hilal have intensified dramatically. Benzema departed Real Madrid in 2023 shortly after winning the Ballon d’Or, joining Al Ittihad where he eventually captured the Saudi Pro League title. However, contractual friction led the French forward to leave Al Ittihad and complete a blockbuster transfer to Al Hilal in February 2026 on one of the most lucrative deals in modern sports. Tension has been mounting ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, with Spanish outlet Diario AS reporting that Benzema is no longer viewed as central to manager Simone Inzaghi’s tactical plans. Under these circumstances, the club’s leadership favors brokering an exit, creating a delicate stalemate between the player and decision-makers. During Al Hilal‘s Saudi Pro League opener against Al Faisaly on Friday, August 14, Benzema opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 19th minute. However, with the match hanging in the balance at 3-2 in the second half, Inzaghi opted to substitute the French striker in the 70th minute for Mohamed Kader Meite, a move that clearly frustrated the veteran forward. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🎥 #شاهد :غضب كريم بنزيما بعد استبداله 😨😨😨😨😨 pic.twitter.com/Ov2fBR0c6B— أخبار الهلال (@hilalstuff) August 14, 2026 Benzema voiced his frustration while walking off the pitch, confronting one of Inzaghi’s assistant coaches on the touchline. The fallout was immediate, as Benzema was subsequently dropped to the bench for the following King’s Cup fixture against Al Raed, logging just 25 minutes as a 65th-minute substitute. While relations between the manager and star player remain frayed, Diario AS reports that Benzema’s camp has maintained he has no intention of walking away from Al Hilal during the summer 2026 transfer window, intending to honor his contract through June 2027. Benzema’s departure conditions rise On Forbes’ 2026 list of the world’s highest-paid athletes, Benzema ranked eighth overall with $104 million in total earnings ($100M salary, $4M endorsements), making him the third-highest-paid soccer player behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. That massive compensation package remains the primary obstacle to a departure, unless Al Hilal agree to pay out the final year of his deal. According to Saudi outlet Al Arriyadiyah, Al Hilal terminating Benzema’s contract hinges directly on securing a replacement striker. With Malcom and Joao Cancelo linked with exits and Darwin Nunez out of Inzaghi’s plans, Al Hilal face a foreign-player roster crunch while searching for an elite center forward suited to Inzaghi’s system. Reports out of Saudi Arabia have linked Al Hilal to Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins as potential replacements to lead the front line. However, no formal bids have materialized for either target. Al Hilal remain active in their pursuit of a marquee striker to lead the squad for the upcoming campaign, effectively phasing Benzema out of their medium-to-long-term plans. Yet until a definitive resolution is reached, the 38-year-old forward remains the second highest-paid player in Saudi Arabia behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
