    Not sure.

    Benzama did have his elbow in his face to gain an advantage.

    True but if you get the chance to see it again just watch the way it unfolds, the guy comes running into Benzema who puts his arm up to fend him off and steady himself, the defender actually bounces off him <laugh>

    Just seen it again in slomo from a different angle, looks like the defender is trying to get up his arse. No wonder he stuck his arm out <yikes>

    Yeh that's true but Benzama's elbow is high.

    If he'd just put his arm out as you suggest then the elbow would have been across the chest or shoulders of his opponent. Bottom line is Banzama didn't need to do it and was reacting to the grappling from behind.

    Gave the VAR referee a decision to make when he shouldn't have.

    Ancelotti casually walks pass to a high five.

    That wasn't a tackle mate, there's usually a ball involved somewhere in them.
