VIDEO: Karim Benzema scores phenomenal back-heel goal, incorrectly ruled offside

Although Loic Remy eventually scored to hand France a 1-0 friendly win over Spain on Thursday, Les Bleus should have taken the lead 25 minutes earlier, when Karim Benzema finished off an excellent cross from Moussa Sissoko by back-heeling the ball past David de Gea.
In case you still had any doubts over whether it was the wrong call after watching the above video, here's a screenshot of the moment Sissoko made the pass.
Having such a beautiful goal incorrectly ruled offside is obviously frustrating, but France will undoubtedly be happy about beating Spain for the first time since its 3-1 win over La Furia Roja at the 2006 World Cup.
