Andujar: There's no foul by Messi, so Braithwaite's goal is legal

Barcelona's opening goal as they took on Osasuna on Sunday was a messy one, with Martin Braithwaite eventually bundling the ball over the line.

Lionel Messi was at the heart of the action too, jumping towards the ball and raising his hand but never touching it.

Asked about a potential foul by Messi on Oier Sanjurjo as he jumped for the ball, MARCA's refereeing expert Juan Andujar Oliver dismissed that notion.

"It's a goal," he said on Radio MARCA. "I don't understand why there are doubts when [Antonio] Mateu Lahoz has already refereed the play. It's not a foul."

It took a couple of minutes for the goal to be confirmed as it was checked by VAR, but it wasn't exactly clear what they were looking for. They might also have been checking that Jordi Alba was onside in the build-up.
