This is evident from images from the French Téléfoot. “Don’t play with him. He’s not doing anything, my mother! He’s just playing against us”, are the words of Benzema, which he tells his countryman in French. Meanwhile, Vinicius, Thibaut Courtois, who also speaks French, and Federico Valverde are standing next to the pair.
Benzema will happily have seen the substitution in the seventieth minute. Vinicius was then, trailing 2-0, replaced by Eden Hazard. In the end, the Madrid people managed to grab a point, partly thanks to a goal from Benzema.
