James Rodriguez seemingly sends message to Rafael Benitez

Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez seemingly takes a swipe at his club boss Rafael Benitez after starting and scoring in Colombia's 1-1 draw with Chile on Thursday.

Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez has seemingly criticised Los Blancos boss Rafael Benitez for not starting him in his club side's final match before the international break.

After recovering from a thigh problem, the Colombian was selected on the bench for Real Madrid's 3-2 defeat at Sevilla on November 8.

The 24-year-old went straight into his country's XI for Thursday's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Chile, however, and scored in the 1-1 draw.

"I'm fine. In Madrid I train well, and I just played 90 minutes. I started hard and well, and people still talk about how I'm not fit," AS has quoted James as saying.

Real Madrid, who have only lost once in all competitions this season, will welcome Barcelona to the Bernabeu for El Clasico on November 21.
