Alan Shearer "cannot believe" Karim Benzema's arrogance against Man City

Alan Shearer was stunned by Karim Benzema's "Panenka" penalty against Manchester City at the Etihad on Tuesday evening.

The Real Madrid forward, 34, chipped his spot kick over goalkeeper Ederson to reduce City's lead to 4-3 ahead of the second leg in the Spanish capital next Wednesday. It was Benzema's second goal of the game and his 14th in this season's tournament.
