Karim Benzema insists Real Madrid's players are fully behind coach Jose Mourinho.

Reports have been rife of discontent behind the scenes at the Bernabeu, further fuelled on Tuesday by comments made by goalkeeper Iker Casillas' television reporter girlfriend that the team is "divided" and that the players do not communicate with Mourinho any more.

Benzema told realmadrid.com: "We're very united and we don't have any problem with the coach. I don't know why they say that."
