All of that is correct. I have no idea why this is a controversy at all, the rulebook is very clear.

The only "controversy" comes from Barcelona fans.

@Dynastian I hate that kind of assumption, Madrid would have still won that game no doubt so the fact that goal is allowed or not doesn't change a thing for Barcelona. Also, a lot of people, me included (and not a barca fan) weren't convinced about the legality of the goal. So I think it false and harsh to say it was only Barca fan making it controversial. Also, its rare for the attacking team to take a shot like that quickly.
@Sunflash Not everyone know all of the rule though. Also, its rare to see a team taking a shot so quickly, so it doesn't help.

I thought it is simply unsportsmashiplike . Same as Messi once did it but Madrid fans are pissed because he was called genius and here everyone is bashing Nacho . I think that rule should be changed and after all any self respecting and opponent respecting player should be fair with everyone . I never liked this foxy crap .

It was valid in all book. It's perfectly legit.
It just wasn't so nice since a Sevilla player helped a was-fouled Real's player. But that's ok, it's professional football, an experienced defender gotta block the quick freekick as soon as it was whistled. As simple as that!
Messi did the same against Atletico 2 years ago and fans were bashing each other as well. Both should not be controversial.
In a crucial win at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid scored a comfortable four goals that secured the three points that edge Madrid closer to the title. However, the opening goal by Nacho Fernandez was proven to be "controversial", as many argue against it.
After Marco Asensio was fouled outside the box and awarded a free-kick, defender Nacho Fernandez quickly kicked the ball to the right-hand corner of the net. Referee Alberto Undiano allowed the goal to stand even though Sevilla players and Goalkeeper Sergio Rico was left unprepared.
Experts in Spain claimed that Undiano was right to allow the goal to stand. Iturralde González, a retired Spanish referee, has agreed that the goal was legal as a request for the distance to be measured from the wall for a free-kick needs to come from the attacking team, which in this case is Madrid.
With this, Madrid is allowed to take the free kick as they did not request to measure the distance from the wall, that is as long as the ball is not in motion, in addition to it not being moved from the original position of the foul.

Even though the goal is legal, some would say that the goal is "unethical" and unsportsmanlike, while some would say that it is smart and wise. What do you think?
