A number of players. including Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, were pictured with Ronaldo this week except for Benzema, leading speculation of a possible fallout between the pair.
However, Benzema was quick to play down that narrative and reveals he hopes to speak to his former Los Blancos teammate after the final.
"We don't need to take photos to say we're friends, the photos are for Instagram or Twitter, that's another world," Benzema told reports, as per Marca.
"We didn't have time to greet each other because I was training and immediately he also went to train. I hope to see him tomorrow at the stadium and be able to talk to him for a while."
Benzema is now fully focused on adding another trophy to the club's cabinet when they lock horns with the Catalan giants.
"(The final) means many things. Another trophy, another pride because here we are always expected to win. We are going to have a difficult game, but in our heads we have to be ready to win this game," he added.
