'Slander is the weapon of the impotent! It is deplorable!', Mathieu Valbuena declared through social media:
La calomnie est l'arme de l'impuissant !

C'est affligeant !!!
La vérité c'est la justice qui la rétablira
'The truth is justice will restore it', he concludes, hoping the law will take over the matter.
Benzema spoke in an interview for 'L'Equipe', and he made sure to speak about his former team mate without biting his tongue. 'He's really got to stop making things up. His continued lying is driving me mad', were just some words from the Madrid striker.
Now, Valbuena has decided to answer. Will Benzema retaliate through his social media?
