Barca's opening goal after a Malaga defender took the ball over the byline and out of play before he crossed into the six-yard box where Deulofeu hit it into the goal. "I didn't see a problem. I still have not seen a replay of the incident, but for me it was legal. I believe this, hence why I played on."
