4 FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES

3 CHAMPIONS LEAGUES

Oh, the first goal!

It's for Benzema!

Sensational!

81 SELECTIONS 27 GOALS WITH FRANCE

He's always had the French team in mind.

So, when he is not there, he is obviously not happy.

He had a few problems.

Today, they are no longer an issue.

What I mean is we just need to see the footballer now,

what Karim can bring to the team.

I was disappointed that Karim

was not part of the French team during the European Championship.

I hope that Karim will be at the World Cup.

It is my wish because he is a fantastic player,

and I love seeing great players in big competitions.

I hope that Karim will be at the World Cup.

He loves the blue kit.

Of course, he loves the French team.

He wants to play for his country.

What more do you want him to do?

He scores goals.

He's part of Real Madrid's best team.

But you don't select him for the French team.

When I'm walking around,

in England, as soon as football is mentioned,

people ask why he wasn't selected.

I say, "You're asking the wrong person.

You have to ask the coach and respect his choices."

It's a global event.

It's not just the Ligue 1.

Or even La Liga, or...

It's a global event.

Players who leave the French team,

they were not asked to come back even if they score goals for their club.

But it's Karim Benzema.

So, there you go.

There is a problem.

BENZEMA HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM.

BENZEMA WAS SEEN AS A KING.

It's certain that when you see me for the first time,

you might wonder about me,

but I am a normal person.

But you can't tell if you don't know me.

MARCH 2017

ACCORDING TO A SURVEY, 78% OF THE FRENCH PEOPLE

NO LONGER WANT HIM IN THE FRENCH TEAM.

SURVEY FOR RTL AND WINAMAX

It's easy to say, "I'm leaving." But it's not...

That's not me.

"Okay, I'm leaving." No.

-It's not over for you? -Never.

It will never be over.

The French team, it's still there.

It's still playing.

I'm at Real Madrid. I keep going. I win trophies.

And that's it, we will see.

The German kicks it and goes to the first pole!

MAY 21, 2017, REAL MADRID WAS CROWNED CHAMPION OF SPAIN 2017.

It's easy when you are surrounded by great players,

especially Karim, because we both play offensive.

I know him, and I know how he plays.

I know when he is playing with me in mind. I know what he is thinking.

REAL MADRID PLAYER SINCE 2009

Since we have been playing together for several years,

it's easy for me to play with him.

If you ask Karim, he also knows me well.

That's why it's easy.

We have been playing together since 2009,

so it's been many years.

And if you look at the statistics,

we both score a lot of goals, we make a lot of decisive passes,

and we have won many titles together.

It's great to play together with Karim for the best club in the world.

9TH SEASON WITH REAL MADRID

BEST FRENCH GOAL SCORER IN LA LIGA

BEST FRENCH GOAL SCORER IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

To play for a club like Real Madrid,

you need to handle the pressure well

and do a good job.

GARETH BALE, REAL MADRID

Everyone needs to experience it,

especially here at Real Madrid.

It doesn't matter that he is highly criticized.

He is very good and scores goals when they are needed.

For me, Karim

was a mix between Ronaldo, the Brazilian, and Zidane.

REAL MADRID PRESIDENT

He played behind the strikers like Zidane used to

and scored goals like Ronaldo used to.

This mix is what I liked about him.

Back then, I saw something in him,

and it's still the case now.

No, honestly, I'm not realizing it.

It's still under construction, but...

You received all the machines?

Yes, I just received the machines.

-The bar... -The bar.

For your quadriceps, legs, and upper body.

Over there is a hammam.

Here, a sauna.

And here, you go straight to the cold bath after the sauna.

The water is at five or six degrees.

And there is the hot bath with some water jets for your back.

When I was 19, I didn't need to have treatments.

When I was at Lyon, I had no treatments.

But now, I know that if I don't get treatments

for one or two days, I would start feeling the pain.

Pain.

That's right.

So, you've got a mini Real Madrid here?

Don't you have a changing room with the number 9 on it?

No.

KARIM BENZEMA'S AGENT

Well, it's fine then. It's not too egocentric.

Actually, I don't have a footballer's life.

Yes, I have a footballer's life because my career is football, but...

But I'm not really living a footballer's life.

I'd say that I'm someone who likes to stay at home.

This is not my country.

But I am loved.

There's no guilty party. You can come. The president can come.

Everyone is there. The players are there.

So I feel better straight away.

Karim isn't a traitor.

He has proved that.

You can see how good his relationship is with the people at Lyon,

whether it is the president,

Jean-Michel Aulas, Bernard Lacombe,

or those who are there today, President Florentino Pérez.

These people aren't liars.

They are people who treat Karim like their son.

So, if he really was a riffraff, a scum,

or everything that people call him,

do you think that these people would have the same respect for Karim Benzema?

It's impossible.

You have to stop lying to people. It's not possible.

It's not possible.

KARIM BENZEMA HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED FOR THE FRENCH TEAM

SINCE OCTOBER 8, 2015...

THE START OF THE "SEX TAPE" SCANDAL.

POLICE STATION

NOVEMBER 4, 2015

This morning, Karim Benzema was taken into custody

at the Judicial Police's quarters in Versailles...

A Star of the French Football Team in Custody:

Karim Benzema Spends the Night at the Precinct...

...the blackmailing scandal regarding the sex tape

of his French teammate, Mathieu Valbuena.

I was in custody, as if I was,

I don't know, a thug or something.

But...

At first, they say, "We'll let you speak," and then that changes.

You're in custody, and then you can't play football.

You are alone. You are...

It's something else.

And you think about everything.

And you say to yourself, "What am I doing here?"

That's it. That's all.

We called upon the press for the investigation, to have the footage.

It's totally scandalous because it distorts everything afterward.

I think that if the hearing proceeded peacefully in secret,

which is how it was supposed to be,

then the investigation could be carried out normally.

L'ÉQUIPE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM

What country do we live in?

What country do we live in?

He is in custody, in prison, because he was treated like a scumbag.

They made him sleep in a cell.

He's going to be called in front of a judge.

This is a guy who plays for the biggest club in the world.

He isn't going to escape.

Tell him to go to a hotel.

"Listen, Mr. Benzema, head to the hotel.

We are going to have to put you in front of a judge."

They want to destroy him.

Tonight, Karim Benzema, the French and Real Madrid striker,

is a free man, but under judicial supervision.

He was indicted this afternoon.

The police suspect him of being an accomplice

in the blackmailing of Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.

THIS MORNING

It's complicated because we want to wait and take a step back to know more.

These days, news spread through trending topics and social media.

Our duty is to publish news as it comes.

We have to try and conceive

a story very quickly to put everything in order.

It's very difficult to clarify these things properly.

If I make a mistake, of course, I'll apologize.

You have to. You're...

Afterward, you'll feel better.

You apologize, and then...

Whatever happens, happens.

But when you haven't done anything, and you just helped someone,

and then, everything is...

The blame falls on you.
