Benzema’s firm response to Messi and Neymar: “What they do on the pitch doesn’t raise any doubts”

He was absent from Real Madrid’s last three games due to a muscle injury and, in the early hours of this Monday, he was doubtful to be in the match against PSG in the Parc des Princes on Tuesday. Karim Benzema, on the eve of the match, continued without dispelling doubts about his participation in the Champions League challenge.

“It has been many hours of work and I feel much better. We have a training session to see how I feel and if I can play the game. I hope to feel good sensations on the pitch”said Benzema at a press conference. “I’m going to train and then we’ll make a decision”he added.

“I will always force for my team because if I don’t stay in Madrid today. I’m always here to help and if I have to force it, I’m going to do it. Nor is doing it to injure yourself more. I always think of the team and, for that reason, it will depend on the sensations I have”. he pointed.

The French striker assured that since he suffered the muscle injury he has worked intensely with the aim of arriving in time to play the game against PSG.

“It was difficult because when you’re away it’s difficult, I’d spend the morning, afternoon and night doing work in Valdebebas and at home to get there. I’m ready, now we have to see on the pitch, but I’m here to help my team in a great game. If I have to play tomorrow I’ll give it my all on the pitch.”sentenced.

Benzema indicated that the duel will be very even, because both teams have great players and he did not want to say who is the favourite.

“In football today, there are no favourites, not only in this game, anyone can beat you and reach the final. If we look player by player, we are two very equal teams.”he indicated.

He recognized that playing against Kyliam Mbappé will be special, because both share the national team, but he did not give much importance to the match being played in France.

Benzema indicated that, despite the moment they are going through in France, Leo Messi and Neymar are “top players” and that, “Although people expect more goals from them, what they do on the pitch does not raise any doubts”.
