Karim Benzema is not yet on vacation. The striker arrived at Clairefontaine to play the Nations League matches with his team. The Frenchman arrives very happy after winning his fifth Champions League with Madrid, and he has shown that same happiness in his reunion with Kylian Mbappé.
What was forged as a close friendship in the national team, Karim was looking for him at Real Madrid with all kinds of winks on his social networks. In the end the story did not have the desired ending and Kylian opted for the PSG project and put aside what was his dream since he was little. Benzema did not want to make any statement, he focused on the Champions League final for his team and lifted the fourteenth in Paris.
Now, after what has happened in recent weeks, the Whites’ striker has arrived at the concentration camp after having the best season of his life and with the Ballon d’Or on the horizon. That moment of form, he wanted to accompany him with Mbappé in the white team next season, which is not going to happen.
In the end everything has been in a hug and a smile between both, although not as effusively as it could have been with Raphael Varane. Of course, Karim himself said something to him but the television cut the image and the French striker’s message could not be known.
Benzema, cheered
After his arrival at the concentration, Karim has put on the national team’s clothes and has gone down to dinner with the rest of his teammates. There, he has been greeted by everyone and has also had a hug with Mbappé. Later at the table, Didier Deschamps dedicated a few words to the striker for his recent victory in the Champions League and then a standing ovation was heard from his teammates.
