On the court, according to a video that was later broadcast by Canal +, Sánchez tells Messi: “It was mine, huh.” The ’10’ responds with laughter and then the Chilean clarifies that “I brushed it, but it’s yours Leo.”
In the judge’s report Miguel Ángel Ayza Gámez, the goal appears counted to Messi. Ditch issue? The truth is, no. If the visual proof is irrefutable, the job of the statisticians is to tell what was seen on the field. And in this case, Alexis clearly touches the ball. That is justice, it is not appropriate to give away goals.

In January 2017, the prominent Spanish statistician MisterChip, He wrote a column in the Diario AS, where he refutes that goal be awarded to Messi.
“60 years ago, without images, there was a certain logic that it was the referee’s record who decided the authorship. But now it is ridiculous. Therefore, the Premier has an Official Goal Assignment Committee that works wonderfully. As long as it does not exist in Spain there will be infinite controversies and I hope, after 25 years assigning goals, that one day they will liberate me with the creation of that Committee “MisterChip stated.
The truth is, with his penalty against Atlético de Madrid, Messi has 699 goals in professionalism: 629 in Barcelona and 70 in the Argentine team. An impressive amount. Immense. So big, it’s embarrassing to argue about a goal. But fair, it’s fair.
