20 hours later, Benzema’s social media accounts reappear with an enigmatic message
The French striker returned to his social networks with an image with his son at Real Madrid’s training ground and a message stating: “On the right path”.
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.
The French striker posted an image along with his five-year-old son Ibrahim on the pitch at Real Madrid’s Ciudad Deportiva, chasing a ball. The image was accompanied by an enigmatic caption: “On the right path” (in French) adding a red heart emoticon.
The Madrid striker offered no explanation as why both accounts had become inaccessible to users with a security breach being the main reason offered by other social media observers.
