Karim Benzema hires Dubai nightclub for birthday party

Karim Benzema hired out a top nightclub in Dubai to celebrate his 28th birthday party just before Christmas.

The troubled Real Madrid striker, who was arrested last month over allegations that he was involved in a sex-tape blackmail plot, rented the Cavalli club for the private bash with his closest friends.

During the night, the Frenchman was presented with a giant customised birthday cake bearing the logo of the La Liga club.
