Karim Benzema has opened up about how he ‘lost his head’ with Jose Mourinho... when the then Real Madrid coach likened him to a cat.
Benzema, the France forward, made the comments during a Canal Plus documentary in his homeland, opening up on his time at Madrid.
The 29-year-old, who snubbed Manchester United to move to the Bernabeu in 2009, was particularly forthcoming about his relationship with Mourinho. The Portuguese coached him for three years in Madrid and is now the manager at Old Trafford.
Benzema says they had only one major dispute – and it centred on an extraordinary press conference given by Mourinho just weeks after he arrived at Madrid in 2010.
