Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema scored his first goal for the club in their clash with Al Hilal on Tuesday night.
The Frenchman, who has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu this summer, was introduced as a substitute and made an immediate impact, scoring within three minutes of coming on to the pitch.
Benzema's goal came after just one minute of play, when he found space inside the penalty area and calmly finished off a cross from Sergio Ramos.
It was a perfect start to what turned out to be a difficult evening for Real Madrid, who were eventually beaten 2-1 by Al Hilal.
Despite the loss, Benzema's performance was praised by many, with some suggesting that it could be a sign of things to come at the Bernabeu.
"Karim has always been a goalscorer and he showed tonight why,Saudi Pro League Highlights" said coach Zinedine Zidane. "He is a key player for us and I'm sure he will continue to perform well."
Benzema's goal also marked the return of another former Real Madrid player, as the club announced on Wednesday that they had signed him from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee believed to be around £65 million.
The deal comes after a summer of speculation about Benzema's future at the club, with reports linking him with a move away due to a falling out with manager Zidane.
However, the new deal looks set to put those speculations to rest, and Benzema is now fully focused on helping Real Madrid compete for major honours next season.
Overall, Benzema's performance against Al Hilal was a positive sign for both himself and the club, and it will be interesting to see how he continues to perform over the coming months.
