Crosas: Barça Here For Benzema
The young Catalan confirmed earlier reports that Txiki Beguiristáin had been in the French city to run the rule over young striker Karim Benzema.
He said, ""I know Txiki is here, but I haven't yet had the chance to speak with him.
"Is he here for Benzema? Well, I know he isn't here to watcm me.
"Everyone knows about Barça's interest in Karim, so that is surely why he's here.
"Benzema reminds one of Ronaldo during his Barcelona days.
"He is very powerful and when you're up against him he's very hard to stop.
"He's a player of great quality and can make the difference in matches."
Benzema, 20, scored the only goal during OL's 1-0 win over Metz last night in the Coupe de France quarter-final.
