Real Madrid Star Pounced On By Fan Looking For A Selfie As He Steps Out Of Hotel

Security staff were forced to intervene as Real Madrid star Karim Benzema was pounced on by a fan looking for a selfie during their summer tour.

Los Blancos are in Canada for the start of their pre-season preparations as Zinedine Zidane's men look to steal Barcelona's crown this coming campaign.

However, Benzema was involved in an incident outside the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Montreal as he left the team bus. An eager man made a beeline for the unsuspecting French frontman in a bid to get a picture.

Benzema was grabbed by the shoulders before fast-acting hotel staff stepped in to drag the selfie-seeking supporter away. He could have injured him in the process.
