Call it karma for Karim, taken out on Cristiano.
Real Madrid earned a penalty in Wednesday morning’s 3-1 win over Real Sociedad when French striker Karim Benzema hit the deck at the hands of an invisible truncheon.
Take a look at the weakly-awarded PK here:Unbelievable. Penalty given to @RealMadriden on a very questionable call. #LaLiga https://t.co/nk25T97BSq

So up stepped Cristiano Ronaldo to surely belt Real Madrid into a 1-0 lead.
[ WATCH: Liverpool loanees juggles, volleys his way to goal ]
Only he didn’t, and the Bernabeu responded with a whole bunch of whistles for their star, and some supportive applause as well.Oh my @Cristiano!!! He skies it horribly. 0-0. #LaLiga https://t.co/YbZDgdSyv9

Heady times at the Bernabeu, where Rafa Benitez has been booed as well. By the way, Real Madrid is within a hair of the table lead, and still alive in the UEFA Champions League.
Great fans!
