Chelsea centre-back, Kalidou Koulibaly has singled out Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema for special praise ahead of both teams’ Champions League
Koulibaly said Benzema is a good example for Muslim people amid the Ramadan period, adding that he is happy for the Frenchman.“I said about two or three years ago he’s the best striker in the world,” Koulibaly told BBC Sport.
“It’ll be a tough game [against Real Madrid on Wednesday night], but I hope Chelsea will win and pass this test. “It’s our objective, but it’s going to be hard because they won the last Champions League. We believe in ourselves, in our teammates and manager. “I am happy for Benzema, he’s a good example for the Muslim people that we can do Ramadan, score goals and be productive. I hope he continues to score, but not on Wednesday!”
