Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has accused the France manager, Didier Deschamps, of lying and referred to him as a “liar” after Deschamps gave an interview regarding Benzema’s World Cup injury. In the interview, Deschamps claimed that he did not ask Benzema to leave the World Cup in Qatar and that it was the striker’s decision. However, Benzema’s legal representative had claimed that he would have been fit for the knockout rounds of France’s campaign. Benzema responded to Deschamps’ claims on his Instagram, where he denied the allegations and referred to the coach as a “great liar.” The conflict between Benzema and Deschamps is not new, and tensions are expected to further strain their relationship after this latest clash over the World Cup injury.
