JAKARTA - Five years have passed since Karim Benzema last wore the French uniform. Along with this midweek international agenda, the Real Madrid forward posted a mysterious message on social media.

An incident involving Mathieu Valbuena and Benzema in connection with the extortion case of an immoral video scandal in 2015 was brought to court.

Although the verdict was never passed, the Real Madrid number 9 has since been blacklisted by the French Football Federation (FFF).

The decision divides public opinion between those who support Benzema and those who feel the FFF and its president Noel Le Graet have done the right thing.

Now, after being kicked out of the France squad by coach Didier Deschamps, Benzema has taken to Twitter to send out a mysterious message.

"Where others put hate, I smile," he tweeted.

There has been no further explanation about the meaning of Benzema's tweet.

On the other hand, Deschamps and the FFF are just cool.
