Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema remains under pressure inside the locker room.

Real's younger players, particularly Isco and Marco Asensio, are frustrated with the perceived special treatment Benzema enjoys from coach Zinedine Zidane.

Stats now show for every three chances Benzema is on the end of, he misses two - a record which Isco believes shouldn't warrant an automatic start.

Indeed, Diario Gol says the midfielder believes unless you're one of Zidane's chosen, you'll never get a fair chance to establish yourself in his team.

Making matters even more tense is Cristiano Ronaldo's support of Benzema. The Portuguese, like Zidane, is among the Frenchman's biggest allies.

And in contrast, it's no secret of the tension growing between Ronaldo and Isco this season, with Real's No7 believing the young Spaniard's style of play doesn't suit Zidane's system.
