🎥 Barcelona robbed of clear goal against Valencia | OneFootball

Okay, it’s officially enough.

Or as they would say in Spain: Basta!

La Liga needs referee-aiding technology and it needs it now.

Barcelona were robbed of a clear goal against Valencia in the crunch La Liga meeting between the two sides on Sunday evening.

The moment came when Lionel Messi struck from the edge of the box after a rather non-eventful opening half hour.

The shot was far from the greatest we’ve ever seen Messi take but Neto failed to catch it cleanly in the Valencia goal, somehow fumbling it into the net.

The ball went in, Barcelona’s players ran off in celebration, Valencia’s fans moaned audibly in the stadium and then…the referee Ignacio Iglesias did nothing.

Almost impossibly, Iglesias judged that the ball had not crossed the line before Neto recovered it.

Valencia, thanking their lucky stars, continued to play on as if nothing had happened and very nearly went down the other end and scored before Barça could get back into a defensive position.

The whole incident is a massive embarrassment to La Liga and could prove hugely controversial and decisive in the title race.

Technology in football is far from perfect but games cannot be decided on decisions as blatantly wrong as this one.
