Home Unlabelled Valencia 1-1 Barcelona: Jordi Alba strikes late to cancel out Rodrigo's opener at the Mestalla as Lionel Messi is denied an obvious goal by officials

at November 26, 2017


  • Valencia and Barcelona shared the points at the Mestalla on Sunday night as they could only draw 1-1 
  • Rodrigo opened the scoring in the 59th minute after he finished off a slick team move at the near post 
  • Jordi Alba levelled things up late on with an acrobatic finish following a sensational pass by Lionel Messi
  • Messi had seemingly given Barcelona the lead but the officials failed to spot his shot had crossed the line  
First came the Lionel Messi ghost goal, then came the sight of Rodrigo Moreno ghosting in front of Thomas Vermaelen to score, and then came Jordi Alba’s dramatic equaliser.
La Liga’s top of the table game had everything from orange-wig celebrations, to dreadful mistakes from match officials, to a sublime assist from Messi for the Barça leveler.
A resurgent Valencia so nearly became the first team to beat Barcelona this season, although they were helped when the most controversial moment of the season went their way.
