Giroud hits back at Benzema with World Cup jibe

Olivier Giroud and Karim Benzema have been embroiled in a war of words for the last couple of days.

Giroud, despite being a squad player at Chelsea is the chosen one as far as Les Bleus boss Didier Deschamps is concerned.

As far as Benzema’s international career is concerned it is all but over. Deschamps admitted there is no place for the Real Madrid man in his team.

On Instagram live, Benzema called the Chelsea forward a go-kart in comparison to himself who he likens to a Formula 1 car.

Giroud did not resort to any kind of retaliation other than note his credentials in comparison to Benzema’s.

According to Talk Sport, he had a rather quirky response:

“People say you cannot compare a Formula One car with a go-kart.”

“The only thing I can say on the matter is that I’m a world champion, so that isn’t bad for a go-kart.”
