Toni kroos and manchester city looking for a new feature so it and ronaldo gives the The ball definitely crosses the line, but Asensio looks to have been fouled in the build up. Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral.
