Karim Benzema denies rift with Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid star Karim Benzema has denied falling out with Cristiano Ronaldo who reunited with his former teammates who are currently in Saudi Arabia ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final clash with Barcelona today, January 15.

Ronaldo was spotted in photos speaking to Real Madrid players, but Benzema was nowhere to be seen, leading to speculation of an alleged rift.

The claim has however been shut down by Benzema who told reporters that they don’t need to take photos to say they are friends.

He said;

“We don’t need to take photos to say we’re friends, the photos are for Instagram or Twitter, that’s another world.

“We didn’t have time to greet each other because I was training and immediately he also went to train. I hope to see him tomorrow at the stadium and be able to talk to him for a while.”
