Vinicius Junior Gifts Teammate Karim Benzema With Customised Gold AirPods

• Karim Benzema has been gifted with flashy customised Airpods Pro by Vinicius Junior
• The Frenchman took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the heartwarming gesture
• The pair have combined for a staggering 79 goal contributions for Real Madrid this term

Vinicius Junior demonstrated his great respect and admiration for Real Madrid teammate, Karim Benzema with a heartwarming and expensive gesture.

The Brazilian winger, who has formed a lethal partnership with the French striker since the start of last season, gifted the current Ballon d'Or holder customised Airpods Pro.

The pair rather began their friendship on a sour note, with Benzema accusing Vini of playing against the team in a Champions League draw with Borussia Monchengladbach back in 2020, per talkSPORT.

But since then, the duo seem to have buried the hatchet, building a strong bond both on and off the field.

Meanwhile, both star will be expected to be on top of their game as Real Madrid face off against Manchester City in the semi-final of their Champions League return leg next Wednesday, May 17.
