"Training until it hurts, Karim Benzema's fuel," the Merengue club wrote hours before the match on Twitter along with a video of the 'Cat' training in 'citizen' territory.
In the images, Benzema can be seen exercising his abdomen and stating that he does not stop until the pain prevents him. Suddenly Ancelotti approaches him and enhances the scene after being questioned by a press man from the club.
"Mister, what do you feed Karim?" they asked the Italian coach, who showed his good humor in his response. "I don't know what he eats," he said with a smile on his face and walked away.
