Ronaldo's Penalty.

It’s a definite penalty, Benatia has two hands on his back and it’s probably why he hasn’t just stuck it in the net as he was off balance. Can’t honeslty believe people don’t think that’s a penalty, he’s came in from behind and took the guy out! 

Ronaldo’s penalty was different class, but his leap to win the ball and knock it back in to Vasquez to initially win the penalty was just as important. He must be the best player aerial wise when attacking the ball in the opponents box. Will always remember that header against Roma in the CL, he is absolutely un-playable.

There is not two hands on his back though?

Watch it back. Can see why ref gave it but certainly not for that.

Ronaldo is unreal in the air. For me he’s more of an athlete than Messi but not as accomplished a footballer.

Regardless of the hands on back debate...he missed the ball and kicked his chest, that's also a penalty. I can't get my head around why there's a debate about it. Also, the calls for the ref to think of the situation and how it effects players are ridiculous, Buffon lost the plot and was deservedly sent off, the same as it was a penalty. Great end to the game...could see it coming in the last 5/10mins.

Never a penalty. There’s more contact at every single corner. Neil Oliver saw a chance to make the game about him and took it. Unfortunately he forgot what a preening prick Ronaldo was so ended up being overshadowed.

Ronaldo should have been sent off for his penalty celebrations too.

1. Stonewaller. Anywhere else on the pitch and that challenge is a foul.

2. Bizarre why he didn't just head it into the net. Would've certainly given the ref an easier end to his shift!

3. Great penalty, especially given the wait and the weight ;) of the kick. Unsaveable.

Can't disagree with any of that, especially the sending off. He should have been booked on several occasions earlier in the game for diving. If the referee is going to send Buffon off for dissent, he has to be consistent and book Ronaldo for diving
