Karim Benzema celebrates 30th birthday with Bugatti Veyron cake, gets a bizarre message from Mike Tyson

Karim Benzema marked his birthday with a message from boxing legend Mike Tyson as the Real Madrid forward took time out from preparations for the Christmas Clasico on Tuesday.
Benzema marked entering his 30th year with a Bugatti Veyron themed cake and some poolside fireworks at home.
And among his well-wishers was Tyson, sending a message to the former France international from Las Vegas.
‘Hey Karim my brother, happy birthday,’ Tyson, 51, said. ‘Many, many more my brother, too bad you’re not out here with us.’
Real also wished their striker many happy returns, with Benzema’s future tied to the Bernabeu until 2021 after he signed a new four-year contract in September.
Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos is labelling Real Madrid’s La Liga title hopes as good as over if they emerge with anything other than a win from the Christmas Clasico against Barcelona on Saturday.
A defeat at the Bernabeu would put them a huge 14 points behind leaders Barca and captain Ramos says winning their biggest game of the season is now an ‘obligation’.
‘It will be a great match,’ the centre back told MARCA. ‘There are no words to describe the Clasico. It is totally different, and the most important game in the world.
‘We are obliged to win now more than ever due to the situation we find ourselves in, in order to remain in the fight for La Liga.’
