La Liga: Footage shows Messi and Suarez penalty should have been disallowed

La Liga: Footage shows Messi and Suarez penalty should have been disallowed

​Footballing magicians Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were up to their old tricks on Sunday night as the duo pulled off a cheeky penalty in Barcelona's 6-1 thrashing of Celta Vigo, but on closer inspection it looks the strike should have been ruled out.


When Barcelona's talismanic Argentinian striker was fouled in the box he dusted himself down and stepped up to the plate only to pass the ball to the onrushing Suarez who coolly slotted home. 
However, replays show that the bizarre goal should have been disallowed as Messi's Uruguayan strike partner was in the box before the ball was played meaning that he was committing encroachment.
