The French striker, who has been away from ‘les bleus’ for so long due to the ‘Valbuena case’, returned for the 2021 European Championship but was unable to participate in the World Cup in Qatar due to his injury due to a clear disagreement with Deschamps.
Karim Benzema will no longer wear the colors of the French team. The Real Madrid striker, one of the best French footballers of all time, has announced just on the day he turns 35 that he will stop wearing the ‘les bleus’ shirt and with this decision closes a period marked by because of the ‘Valbuena case’, which kept him away from the French national team for so long, and because of a clear disagreement with Didier Deschamps.
The current Ballon d’Or player was unable to participate in the World Cup in Qatar after his injury, while the French team was already focused on the tournament, but the handling of this situation showed that the injury between the player and the still French coach never ended despite the short-lived return before the Eurocup was played in the summer of 2021.
