Speculation about Kylian Mbappé’s destination next season resumed on Sunday April 3, after the victory of PSG against Lorient. Le long interview with Karim Benzema granted to the newspaper The Team published on Tuesday, April 5, can also give food for thought: “I like playing with him in the national team and I would like to play with him in the club. I think we would score double the goals. Or maybe even triple! “. The declaration which sounds like a call from the foot on the part of the Madrid native, and falls three days after the evocation of “new items” by Kylian Mbappé as to his future at the club, not yet decided.

“With Mbappé, we get along well because we know what the other is going to do. For example, we both like to go left but we will never both be there at the same time: the other will come inside, or take the depth. Could he be the third element of the Real attack, with Vinicius and you? Yes, I say it often, continues Karim Benzema in the interview.
“The team that scared me the most was Paris”
The striker also made the rounds of rivals, beaten or still in contention, in the race for the Champions League trophy. “The team that scared me the most was Paris,” confides Benzema, pointing out the weaknesses of Manchester City (“They have not yet come across a team that attacks them well behind the back”), Liverpool (“They are very good, but especially at home”) or Bayern, “a team that concedes a lot of goals”. On Chelsea, defending champion and opponent of Real on Wednesday April 6, Benzema does not advance: “There is no favourite. Look at PSG-Real: we were favorites in the first leg, maybe. And on the way back, PSG had become ultra-favorites. So that doesn’t mean anything. »
What remains to be won for the striker, after having won everything in the French team and in Europe since 2009? “The Ballon d’Or is a motivation, but not only personal. I include the team. Because if I manage to lead my team to win trophies, there will inevitably be individual rewards behind it,” he added to his list of goals.
