For the third time in LaLiga Santander this season, Lionel
Messi has had a goal disallowed by VAR in Saturday's Barcelona vs Alaves La
Liga fixture. His first-half goal - a shot he tucked home from Antoine
Griezmann's deflected shot - was ruled out by VAR, as they deemed Griezmann was
slightly offside during the move. As of now, no player has had more goals
disallowed by VAR than Messi this season.
That did not stop Messi from scoring a brace - both sublime
goals, with one scored 25-yards away from goal - and providing an assist in
Barcelona's 5-1 undoing of Alaves. He also matched two important records
- he equaled Barcelona legend Xavi for most league games played for
Barcelona, and has matched Cristiano Ronaldo's tally of 573 goals scored from
open play - doing so in two fewer years and 145 games less.
