Mathieu Valbuena breaks the silence on Karim Benzema

10 years after the famous “sex tape affair”Mathieu Valbuena comes out of silence. Guest on RMC this Thursday, the ex-French international took part in “Game of Truth”. In particular, there was talk of Karim Benzema, sentenced in November 2021 to one year in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros in first instance by the Versailles criminal court for complicity in attempted blackmail.

“Have I had any contact with Benzema since then? No way. I really don't hold grudges. Everyone makes their own life. Talk to him if I see him again? I don't know. But I don't hold grudges, I don't wish harm on anyone, I want them to be happy in their family life and football-wise. I know what happened. It’s certain that we won’t go on vacation together.”said the 41-year-old.
