Oh damn, that pretty much wraps it up. Not a penalty then. Unless AI

The first one by Araujo is certainly not a pen, the benfica player gets the header

The second one is controversial. Fermin pushes the player from the back, he does not fall, holds his own, heads the ball, and the moment he heads the ball and sees it going into Tek's hands he starts falling

Could go either way depending on the ref.

The pen that that Lucas Vasquez got some years back vs Juventus had a softer push than this one.
OF course, VARDRID robbers intervened immediately to help their boss

Reading Cule interpretations of what is a penalty or not is highly hilarious. On one side you have Gundogan making salto on toddler tier touch which was a penalty per Cule idea, while Lucas being bodychecked from behind while in possession of the ball is not a penalty. Or that Mascherano foul on CR7, which Hernandez saw as a clean start. Top tier stuff.

Anyway, per refs criteria that should be a penalty. But honestly who gives a frack. The usual decision which goes in favor of a big team Vs. small teams. Buhuuuu. Highly entertaining match. Like watching Rocky.
