It's now time for the 4th installment of this series. There's not much else to say so I will proceed to show even more refereeing decisions made against Messi.
First up, we'll be starting with a game from the 2011/12 season. This was against Getafe away. A goal from Messi is canceled due to an offside from Keita, but the reality is that Míchel (a Getafe player) gave the ball to Keita, which cancels the offside and makes the goal valid.
The next error is his wrongfully disallowed goal against Roma (home) in the 2015/16 Champions League season. The linesman said that Neymar was offside, but as it can be seen in this picture, he wasn't. He then assisted Messi's goal before the play was invalidated.
For the 3rd error, we're going back to the 2014/15 season against Celta away. Messi made a great run and dribbled past the goalkeeper to score, but the play was canceled due to an offside. But as it can be seen in the picture, he's not offside.
Next up is his disallowed goal against Getafe away in the 2008/09 season. Messi scores after a rebound form the goalkeeper but it's called off due to an offside. In the video, it can be seen that he's level with the Getafe defender, so it was wrongfully dissallowed.
And for last, in an international friendly in 2013 against Sweden he made a good touch and chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, who cleared the ball with a bicycle kick, but as it can be seen in the video, the ball went in.
That's all I have for this part, and as a side note, since I don't have any more disallowed goals, for the next parts I'll count aggressions on Messi not sanctioned or penalties not given due to fouls on Messi. I hope you liked this entry, and as always, I'll see you in the next blog.
