Luis Suárez thought he had given Barcelona the lead in the 30th minute in the Calderón but match referee Mateu Lahoz and his assistants were correct to rule out the Uruguayan’s effort.
Leo Messi started the move with a shot on goal that was blocked by Jan Oblak and fell into the path of Suárez. The Uruguayan’s persistence ended with the ball in the back of the net but the Barça striker also committed two infractions in doing so.
Foul and handball
On one hand he managed to stand on the prostrate Oblak and on the other he handled the ball in the passage of play. Mateu Lahoz disallowed the goal, despite the impassioned protests of Suárez.
