Didier Deschamps with Karim Benzema on October 7, 2014. – FRANCK FIFE / AFP
It would be an unlikely turnaround given the gulf that seemed to have widened between Karim Benzema and Didier Deschamps in recent years. And yet, the Madrid striker, with the counter blocked at 81 selections since November 2015, would be part of the list of 26 players for Euro 2021 that DD must announce tonight, according to information from Parisian.
The best player in the world or not far in 2021 had seen his international career sharply shattered by the sextape affair, which has yet to be tried in corrections in the fall. It would therefore be an unexpected return, the immense consequences of which must be understood on the ground: we do not recall Benzema to make him carry the cans in training.
