Eid al-Fitr commemorates the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month in which devotees fast each day from before dawn to sunset.
The Frenchman will be at the centre of the action when Real Madrid take on Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City on Wednesday in the Champions League semi-final.
The 34-year-old Benzema was born to Algerian parents in Lyon, France. He has evolved into one of the best footballers in the world, and is believed to be a frontrunner for this year’s Ballon d’Or - one of football’s most prestigious individual awards.
Happy Eid to all my Muslim brothers and sisters 🤲🏼☪️🕌 ||
