Benzema: Mbappé? Now is not the time to talk about these little things. He hinted at betrayal

The end of a great friendship? Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé have been like inseparable brothers at the national team meetings, but that may change now. There will now be a lot of need to clear the air between the French strikers.

Virtually the entire football world was counting on Mbappé leaving for Real Madrid in the summer. He himself had indicated his desire to leave, he had already agreed a contract and all the terms with Real, but in the end PSG included Mbappé’s millions and gave him the opportunity to choose a new coach and reinforcements, and the French super talent twitched and stayed in Paris.

This despite the fact that Madrid were counting on his word and were already preparing a grand introduction. In addition, journalists from the player’s entourage brought information that Mbappé used Real to get PSG to increase their offer.

Logically, these moves were not met with understanding in Spain. And not only with the management and fans, but also with the players themselves. On Saturday afternoon, when Mbappé’s decision became official, the vast majority of Los Blancos players rushed to social networks with posts in which they made it clear what an honour it is to play for Real Madrid and that not everyone deserves it.

Karim Benzema went even further. He took Mbappé’s decision as a betrayal and posted a picture of the rapper Tupac with a friend on Instagram, who later betrayed him.

In explaining his decision, Mbappé was naturally questioned about whether he had communicated his staying to his friend Benzema.

“I haven’t spoken to Benzema yet. When we meet in the national team, I will explain my decision to him,” Mbappé said. But his partner, 11 years his senior, may not want an explanation.

Little things

In an interview with Movistar TV, he did please angry Real Madrid fans. “It is inevitable to ask you about Mbappé. He said he will explain everything to you when you meet him in the national team, what do you think he will tell you ?” the reporter asked.

“I will tell you that we are playing the Champions League final on Saturday. There is no time to talk about these little things,” Benzema drew attention with the phrasing of his sentence.

Benzema was very much in favour of Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid, publicly expressing his support for his arrival on several occasions. Mbappé himself was due to accept an early bonus of 40 million euros to sign for Madrid in December, virtually everything was agreed.

However, he changed his mind at the last minute and instead of playing for the 13-time Champions League champion, he will continue to play for Paris, who are still trying in vain to win their first trophy.
