Vine: Karim Benzema’s stellar overhead wondergoal wrongfully disallowed

Horrendous call

Ben Kiely

Poor Karim Benzema might have scored the greatest wrongfully disallowed goal of all time last night

The Frenchman found the net during Real Madrid’s LA Liga clash against Elche with an absolute golazo. However, Benzema’s sensational bicycle kick goal was ruled out as he was deemed to be offside when the cross was played in.

When you check out the replays though, it sure does look like the Real Madrid striker was onside when the ball was played.

Benzema did eventually get the goal he deserved with a simple tap-in from a Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the sharpshooter will feel aggrieved that his potential goal of the season was unjustly disallowed.
