Once again Benzema was presented with a fantastic chance to put Real ahead and once again he was left with his head in his hands.
It wasn't all his fault this time though as compatriot Lloris produced a fine save with his feet to deny the Real Madrid man.

Casemiro was afforded time and space to cross down the right and Benzema, unmarked in the middle, rose to meet his centre. The crowd waited for the net to bulge, only to see the flying Frenchman Lloris deny his fellow countryman with his his feet.
