Karim Benzema has defended his comments made about Olivier Giroud during an Instagram Live broadcast.
The Real Madrid striker had been criticised for describing himself as Formula 1 and Giroud as karting, despite the fact the Chelsea forward won the World Cup with France and he didn't.
"Some people only took away things about Giroud and Formula 1 [from the live broadcast], but they didn't remark what I said about what he'd brought to the French national team," Benzema said in another video.
"They only focused on that, on what I said about Formula 1 and karting, but it's what I think and it's the truth.
"Look, if I was asked about R9 (Ronaldo Nazario), then he would be the Formula 1 and I would be the kart. Short and simple."

It's pretty unprofessional to talk so poorly of your compatriots. It doesn't matter if it's the truth. You have to show respect for fellow professionals and not speak badly of them. Benzema talks about reality. The reality is that he's currently not the best striker in France even in club football. Wissam Ben Yedder is better than him. There's some truth right there.
