Barcelona 5-1 Alaves Three goals ruled out this season
Lionel Messi has conceded a goal for the third time in the first half of VAR for the third time in LaLiga Santander Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Alaves.
The Argentine then stabbed the ball home Antoine Griezmann‘s initial shot was brought in his direction by Fernando Pacheco.
However, after VAR claimed it Griezmann was slightly offside during the move, the goal was ruled out and Messi is late waiting.
According to user @MisterChip on Twitter, no one has more goals by VAR than the Barcelona captain this season.
His score of three is matched by Munir El Haddadi in Sevilla and Raul de Tomas at Espanyol in LaLiga SmartBank.
Anyway, Messi was not deterred by the VAR call against Alaves and scored two valid goals before the night was out.
