The standard establishes a hue, if only one attacking player invades the area. In that case, if it were a goal it would be repeated, but not if it was, it should be indicated free indirect. The television image confirms that at the moment Ramos touches the ball there are four players from both teams within the area: Benzema, Carvajal, Mario Gaspar and Peña. So the penalty should be repeated.

The controversy was born in the 76th minute, when Sergio Ramos decided to try to imitate with Benzema the penalty-assist Messi did with Suárez several seasons ago. French scored, but entering long into the rival area. Hernández Hernández ordered the action to be repeated in the face of Villarreal's widespread anger. That time was Benzema at eleven meters and did not fail.
