Haters have already formed their opinion on this match and no matter what you show them it’ll always be a “blatant disgusting Negreira robbery” when the ref simply fucked both teams over. It’s pointless to try to argue 14 years later.

Messi ends up (a fraction) offside when the ball double ricochet’s off the GK and back on to Villa, before going back through to Messi. It’s not called for the through ball attempt to Villa.
As for the handball, Djourou’s hand is already there in a natural position for balance (as he just changed direction completely) and it is moving back towards his own body, the ball being kicked at it from like 2 yards away too.
