It was the perfect stage: A party controlled, his favourite victim... But suddenly, everything twisted . Churches Villanueva and his assistant did not give validity to a legal goal of Leo Messi, and the footballer of the FC Barcelona complained in repeated occasions

Anybody will know never that would have happened, but of course the anger of the FC Barcelona after the referee's error against Valencia is justified. Although it is intelligible that the referees commit errors, are not logical failures of such magnitude. The image of the Barcelona frustration was Leo Messi, that lost the hope by moments.

Because instants after the played, the Argentinian was celebrating a target that almost finish in a goal against, when reacting the local footballers to the passivity of the trencilla. From the defence 'che' started a counterattack that finish with a shot diverted of Simone Zaza, but the consequences could be a lot worse.

The incredulity of Messi remained patent when seeing what was happening, and after a gesture of contrariedad was raudo to ask to the assistant. Hardly it could confront him while the chronometer followed running, but yes did it to the rest. The '10' accompanied to Churches Villanueva and José Enrique Bouquets, the judge of line that failed in his placing, until the tunnel of changing rooms, and with a smile in the face attended to some explanations little convincentes.

Final disappointment

Perhaps then it was not conscious of the complicated that it could put the party, and saw it with the step of the minutes. At the end it went out of his boots an assistance saviour, but the definite whistle gave back to Leo to the reality. It had escaped him from among the fingers an advantage that could be decisive, for the duel and for LaLiga.

It was then when it went back to argue with Churches Villanueva and his assistant, this time with a semblante more serious. The two referees listened his complaints and observed his gestures indicating as it had been the played, but no longer there was at all that do. Neither advantage, neither goal, neither three points.
