Karim Benzema ruthlessly trolled Micah Richards and claims he doesn't know who he is following his big claim earlier in the season.
Benzema has starred for Real Madrid this season, guiding his side to the Champions League final with scintillating performances against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.
But Richards has only been 'convinced' by the 34-year-old forward over the 'last six months', a claim that stunned Thierry Henry.
Guillem Balague quizzed the French superstar about the ex-Man City man in the build-up to the showpiece event against Liverpool.
And he had a brilliant response, saying he doesn't know who the former defender is in a savage dig.
"Send him my love," he told Balague.

Henry, who's working alongside Richards for CBS Sports, produced a priceless reaction to Benzema's answer.
"That's cold," he said, while Jamie Carragher couldn't help but laugh.
Richards' claim came after Benzema scored a stunning hat-trick against PSG earlier in the competition.
On Benzema, Richards said: "But now, he's convinced me."
Henry chimed in, saying: "Just now?"
Richards replied: "Of late, in the last six months. He's convinced that he's up there with Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski."
Still in shock, Henry added: "Wow. Just tonight?!" To which Richards replied: "Last six months."
