'You don't compare Formula 1 with karting' - Benzema takes aim at Giroud

Olivier Giroud may have led the line as France won the 2018 World Cup in Russia but Karim Benzema is in no doubt who is the better striker.

The Real Madrid man has not played for his country since before the Euro 2016 tournament in which Les Bleus made the final, and has thus been unable to add to his 27 goals in 81 appearances for the country.

Giroud has taken advantage of Benzema’s absence and is now France’s third highest scorer, having bagged 39 goals in 93 games. The Chelsea man trails only Thierry Henry and Michel Platini in the scoring charts.
