Al-Ittihad superstar striker Karim Benzema was reportedly rested from taking part of the next Clasico against Al-Nassr, which will be played, next Monday, and his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo will apparently follow.

According to what has been brought by Abdulaziz Al-Mriseul, the Portuguese legend has played his last league game this season, this Thursday, against Al-Riyadh.

The coach Luis Castro wants to protect his top players before the Saudi King’s Cup against Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo eyes to break the highest scoring number in a single season of the Saudi Professional League history, needing only a brace to do so, therefore, it remains to be seen whether he would risk the final to beat this major record.
