Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says he has no doubts about Karim Benzema's temperament.
On the day he was handed a suspended 12 month jail sentence by a French court for his role in a blackmail attempt, Benzema scored in the Champions League win at FC Sheriff last night.
After the 3-0 win in Tiraspol, Ancelotti said of his striker: "We did not talk about it, he is calm, it is a subject concerning him that has been talked about for a long time.
"Karim Benzema is totally focused on his work, he did it very well, I saw him very calm before the match, and very well during it."
Benzema also posted to social media: "Staying focused on what I like most ... the team, a great victory, let's continue."
