Benzema's dilemma: El Clasico or 'The Valbuena Case'?

Karim Benzema, one of the most fit names of the season, made his decision before El Clasico.

Making a stormy start to the season, Karim Benzema made a critical decision before the El Clasico challenge.

Real Madrid star name Benzema has been away from the national team jersey for many years on the grounds that he recorded private images of Mathieu Valbuena and blackmailed the player.

Although he regained the national uniform before Euro 2020, the hearings of the case have not been completed yet.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will face each other on Sunday, October 24 at the Nou Camp.

However, due to the incident with Valbuena in the past, Benzema had to be in France between 20-22 October within the framework of the ongoing legal process.

According to the news in the Spanish press AS, the French star decided to send his lawyers to represent him to the hearing in order to continue his work with the team before El Clasico and to be on the field during the match.

In the news, it was stated that Valbuena wanted five years in prison and 75,000 euros for the blackmail attempt.
