Antoine Griezmann has sprung to the defence of Olivier Giroud after Karim Benzema's 'go-kart' jibe at his France team-mate.
Benzema used an unflattering motor racing analogy to describe the perceived difference in quality between himself and Chelsea striker Giroud, who replaced him in the France team.
'You don't confuse Formula One with go karting. And I'm being kind. Next… and I know I'm F1,' said the Real Madrid man in an Instagram Live video this week.

And when asked to explain his comments on Tuesday, Benzema happily doubled down on his criticism.
