Seeing these two players together has ormer France national team player Michel Platini is excited to see if they can develop chemistry and dominate this tournament.
In an interview with LCI (via Canal Supporters), Platini spoke about how Benzema can help Mbappé, considering the striker has played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
“He’s a good player, Benzema; he’s a very, very good player. We haven’t been Real Madrid center-forward all these years without being a very, very good player. While shining himself, Benzema can enhance Mbappé even more,” Platini said.
