Benzema of Real Madrid is currently top goal scorer in La Liga. After Wednesday's verdict, Benzema's legal team said the Real Madrid star would be cleared "in the court of appeal." The 33-year-old Real Madrid star didn't even have Valbuena's phone number, according to the court. He was doing so to protect Zenati, Benzema's childhood friend and employee, according to the court statement. Real Madrid declined to comment on the case when asked by CNN.
