My son agrees with you.  He couldn't believe the call.  I could go either way.  I think this is different then when a guy gets nudged in the corner or top of the penalty box.  Here Lucas was 5 feet from the goal with the ball at his head.  Benatia went through him first, then got ball from the side.  You can see Lucas buckle a bit and I don't think he could fake that because it was fully behind him.  That was a strong goal opportunity and in real time it's hard to say that the defender didn't stop the goal with a foul.  I'm a fan of situational judgment (not giving a penalty where the foul didn't take away an immediate opportunity), but I'm not a fan of "swallowing a whistle" just because you're in injury time.  As I mentioned above though, my son would side with you and call me inappropriate names for a 12 year old.  My guess is that if you are a Madrid fan, it's the right call.  If you're a Juventus (or anti-Madrid) fan, it's wrong.  I don't have a dog in that fight.
