Messi’s tame shot in the 30th minute was spilled by Valencia goalkeeper Neto and bounced over the line before the Brazilian dragged it back over.
Messi's first-half effort clearly crossed the line but wasn't allowed to stand as, unlike other major European leagues, La Liga has refused to introduce goal-line technology on cost grounds.
