Benzema has 'no doubt' that France partnership with Mbappe will thrive at Euros

The Real Madrid striker is back with his country after a six-year absence and he can finally team up with the young PSG star

Karim Benzema says he's looking forward to finally linking up with Kylian Mbappe after the Real Madrid star was confirmed as part of France's squad for the Euros.

Benzema is back with France for the first time in six years, having been absent from the team since 2015 in the wake of his alleged involvement in the Mathieu Valbuena sex tape scandal.

Having shined with Real Madrid ever since, Benzema is now back in the fold after several productive talks with head coach Didier Deschamps, and he's looking forward to playing in a squad featuring several World Cup-winning attackers.
