The surreal comparison between Lionel Messi and Hatem Ben Arfa
Karim Benzema thinks his compatriot has talent on the level of Messi
Ben Arfa is not needed at PSG under Unai Emery, with Mbappe and Ney on the scene
In an interview with Canal Football Club, Karim Benzema highlighted the quality of his compatriot Hatem Ben Arfa, currently at PSG.
"He has talent on the level of Messi," claimed Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
Ben Arfa is a talented player but has always been accused of not having his head screwed on, somewhat like Benzema and other controversial French players in their generation like Samir Nasri.
Ben Arfa is having a bad time in Paris. He's nowhere near the team and his relationship with Unai Emery, the coach, is low. That's why Benzema is speaking about him.
"He's shown at Nice that he can make the difference with the ball. Hatem has the level of Messi but has not chosen correctly."
