Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has hit out at former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
Benzema has been frozen out from the France squad over an alleged plot to blackmail Valbuena.
"It drives me crazy that Valbuena is still lying, he needs to stop making up stories," Benzema told L'Equipe. "Everything starts with him, this story of the sextape.
"He should be telling the truth over what happened, and he is laughing at the whole world [in his lies]."
The star striker also discussed his struggles earlier in the season and emphasised that in football you can play well without scoring goals, even for a forward as elite as Benzema.
"This isn't the NBA, there is more to football than ratios, statistics, and goals," he claimed. "Numbers and records are important, but not as important as football itself."
