Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas has labelled France striker Karim Benzema a "fantastic player".

The Real Madrid teammates will come face-to-face when Spain face France in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 on Saturday, but Casillas has admitted that he hopes the Real Madrid striker "has a bad game".

"I'm really lucky to play on the same team as him, and now destiny has pitted us against each other. He's a fantastic player, but I hope he has a bad game on Saturday!" he told reporters.

Benzema is yet to score at Euro 2012.
