French forward was booed by his own fans at the Bernabeu in their last game, but hits back at fans saying he won't leave
ARSENAL target Karim Benzema will NOT be leaving Real Madrid, after telling the boo-boys, 'I never quit'.
The French forward, 29, was booed every time he touched the ball in Real's 3-0 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday after a string of sub-par performances.
However, following the game Benzema took to Instagram to post a cartoon-image of himself in a Real Madrid kit, captioned: "I never quit... #kb9"

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal were hoping to take advantage of the striker's current situation in Spain to launch a cut-price deal for the superstar.
However, the post from Benzema himself suggests he is going nowhere, while boss Zinedine Zidane tried to play down the situation.
Zidane said: "There can be some whistles, that can always happen and sometimes we can be a bit annoyed with that.
"But today the fans supported us from the start until the end.
"That is important, as the players need that. With everyone together we achieved something important."
Benzema has only netted 12 goals in 27 appearances this season - with two of those coming in the Club World Cup in December.
However, he is without a goal since January 12 when he scored in the 3-3 thriller against fellow title rivals Sevilla.
Real sit top of La Liga, four points clear of Barcelona and Sevilla with a game on hand on both of them.
Their winning ways should keep the pressure off Benzema for the time being, but could his time at the club be coming to an end, either today or in the summer?
