DBasia.news – Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema apologized after mocking Vinicius Junior some time ago.

The incident occurred when Real Madrid drew 2-2 at Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Champions League, Wednesday (28/10) am. Benzema mocked Vinicius as he spoke with Ferland Mendy ahead of the start of the second half.

Benzema is said to have asked Mendy not to pass the ball to Vinicius. He considered the Brazilian striker to have played poorly.

“He (Vinicius) did what he wanted. Brother, don’t play with him because he plays against us, “Benzema told Mendy in French as quoted by Marca.

As a left-back, Mendy often worked with Vinicius who plays as a left striker. However, after receiving a message from Benzema, there were significant changes shown by the former Olympique Lyon player.

Mendy recorded only three passes to Vinicius during the second half at Borussia Park. A sign that he was following Benzema’s instructions.
