Benzema is France’s best striker, says Sagna

Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna says Karim Benzema is France’s best striker after renewing rivalries with the Real Madrid star in the Champions League. The French Football Federation (FFF) have ruled the 28-year-old out of Euro 2016 as his alleged involvement in a plot to blackmail fellow international Mathieu Valbuena continues to be investigated. Benzema played the first half of Madrid and City’s 0-0 draw in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday before he was withdrawn through injury.
