Benzema has not been in favor of the national team since 2015 due to the fact that his name was featured in the scandal involving the blackmailing of midfielder Mathieu Valbuena.

Despite the court's recognition of Benzema's innocence in this incident, the player continues to be ignored in the French team.

To support Karim decided forward Los Angeles Galaxy Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"It's not normal for me that Benzema does not call the French team," Ibra began..

"Karim - one of the best players in the world.

He won the Champions League and stands for Real Madrid. At the same time, the national team does not have it for football reasons ".

"If the coach (Didier Deschamps - prim. ) explains this decision by the fact that Karim is not good enough, there should not be such a coach in the team, but there must be Benzema, "Ibrahimovic quotes as saying: beIN SPORTS.

Earlier, Zlatan said he did not go to the 2018 World Cup because of the xenophobia of the Swedish media.
