Benzema unsure why Ronaldo is ´sulking´
9 September 2012 15:31
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema says he was surprised to hear Cristiano Ronaldo is sad at the La Liga giants.
Ronaldo revealed last Sunday he was 'sad' at the Santiago Bernabeu, but it remains unclear as to why.
But Portugal team-mate Nani said on Friday Ronaldo was 'fine' and France international Benzema agrees.
"I don't know why Ronaldo is sulking. I haven't really followed the story but I haven't seen him unhappy," Benzema told reporters on Sunday.
There has been much speculation about whether Ronaldo is keen on a move away from the Spanish capital or whether he is simply after a higher salary having said the issue was a 'professional' one.
However, he had posted on his Twitter account that his feelings are not motivated by money.
Benzema's seemingly unsympathetic attitude towards Ronaldo is not uncommon, with former Barcelona coach Carles Rexach recently questioning the former Manchester United star.
"He's a top player, he has everything. He is physically fit, well built, has money, success, is one of the best players in the world," Rexach said.
"I don't know what else he wants, so for him to be sad is sacrilege."
Ronaldo scored in Portugal's 2-1 win over Luxembourg in their 2014 World Cup qualifier on Friday.
