JAKARTA - Karim Benzema sent his support for the French national team ahead of the 2022 World Cup semifinals against Morocco on Wednesday, December 14. He told the players Les Bleus they were almost there.

The French national team only needed two more wins to be able to defend the World Cup trophy they won in 2018.

Kylian Mbappe and his friends qualified for the semifinals after eliminating England in the last eight. Les Blues won with a narrow score 2-1.

The Didier Deschamps team will now face the Morocco Black Horse, the first African team to reach the World Cup semifinals.

"Come on, kids. Two more games we're almost there. I'm behind you. Let's go," Benzema wrote on his Instagram account.

The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner has actually been prepared to be the front line for France in Qatar. However, a thigh injury prevented the Real Madrid champion from the competition.

Instead, Didier Deschamps relied on AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud. He has scored four goals in four games, including a winning goal against England.
