France striker Karim Benzema has told the media that had Hatem Ben Arfa not been so unlucky in his career, he could be at Barcelona with Lionel Messi.
He told the media the day before France’s first World Cup game against Honduras:
“Hatem Ben Arfa, if he had followed the path that was promised to him, today, he would be playing at Barcelona with Messi. Technically, they are the same.”
