After five and a half waiting, Karim Benzema can finally savor his return to the France team.
The Real Madrid striker was selected this Tuesday by Didier Deschamps to participate in the next Euro.
While reactions multiply on social networks regarding his return to Blue, the former Lyonnais spoke, a little over an hour after the coach's announcement.
“So proud of this return to the France team and of the trust placed in me.
Thank you to my family, my friends, my club, to you ... and to all those who have always supported me and give me strength on a daily basis #AllezLesBleus ”, he wrote.
His message is accompanied by a photo of him, with the tricolor jersey, the happy face.

A few minutes before its publication, Kylian Mbappé had also reacted to the return of the striker to the 81 selections.
The PSG star, who has never played with the Madrilenian, posted on Twitter a photomontage where we can see him typing in the hand with Karim Benzema, both with the tricolor tunic.
The photo is accompanied by a sober "KB x KM", and nine flames (just that).
A palpable impatience while, on paper, their association has something to salivate.
First element of response on June 2, in Nice, against Wales for the first of two preparation matches.
