It’s quite rare to see a decision in Barca’s favour.
According to Telesport’s commentator Vadim Lukomsky, there are two reasons why the referee counted Leo Messi’s first goal against Granada despite Sergio Busquets touching the ball with his hand.
First, Sergio’s touch was unintentional; the ball hit his hand, it wasn’t an intentional movement.
Second, the handball happened long before Barcelona’s goal; in order for it to be ruled out, the touch had to happen immediately before.
Thus, if Busquets touched the ball with his hand right before the shot, even unintentionally, the goal would’ve been ruled out no matter what.
