Update:

There was a degree of confusion when Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema’s social media accounts disappeared on Saturday evening shortly after Real Madrid’s 2-1 league win over Real Betis.

Some 20 hours later, both the @Benzema Twitter and @karimbenzema Instagram accounts have been reactivated much to the joy of his 57 million followers on the latter.
