Benzema will be tried for complicity in the blackmail of Valbuena
Karim Benzema
returns to the French national team five and a half years after the 'Valbuena case' broke out.
The Real Madrid striker is the big surprise on
Didier Deschamps'
list
for this summer's Euro Cup.
Benzema, international on 81 occasions in which he added 27 goals, has not returned to a call for the 'bleus' since the scandal of his alleged participation in the blackmail of
Mathieu Valbuena
broke out
with the threat of spreading a video of him of a sexual nature .
Since then, Deschamps separated him in favor of the "balance and harmony" of the group, despite the fact that the merengue player had stood out with his club, winning three Champions Leagues in a row (2016, 2017 and 2018).
Benzema, 33, missed the 2016 European Championship, in which France was runner-up, and the 2018 World Cup in Russia, in which "Les Bleus" were enshrined.
The forward, of Algerian origin, went so far as to accuse Deschamps of having yielded to "pressure from a part of racist France."
