Once upon a time, Karim Benzema, the French footballer, posted a cryptic Instagram story that raised many eyebrows amongst fans.
This happened on the night of the Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony, where Lionel Messi was named Best FIFA Men's Player, beating French pair Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema to the gong .
After Messi's speech, Benzema posted a video to his Instagram story that says: "Liar, yes, you liar." In fact, the French forward posted a caption below the video that read: "Good night" . This led many people to believe that Benzema was far from happy with the decision .
Benzema was nominated for the award but Lionel Messi earned his win with a total of 52 points. Kylian Mbappe came in second with 44 points before Benzema was announced in third with 32 points.
Real Madrid trio Benzema, Thibaut Courtois and Carlo Ancelotti were all nominated for a Best FIFA Football Award on Monday night, but none of the above were present .
It is unclear what Benzema meant by his Instagram story, but it certainly caused a stir among football fans.
