Lamine Yamal and Joao Cancelo had to be substituted due to injuries in the first half of FC Barcelona’s match against Celta Vigo, which ended in a close 1-0 victory.
Beyond that, as has been the recent pattern with games involving Barça, there was another significant disagreement involving the referees in the second half.
Ferran Torres scored a beautiful volley from a Pedri pass ten minutes into the second half. The ball hit the crossbar before getting past the Celta goalkeeper and entering the net.
But the forward’s celebrations were cut short as the VAR turned down the goal for offside.
Ferran seemed to be on par with Marcos Alonso in the replays, raising questions. In any case, it was a matter of millimetres, and the goal did not stand.
Torres’ Message To Javier Tebas And La Liga
According to Barca Universal, Torres was furious by the decision and did not hold back. The attacker expressed his dissatisfaction with Carlos del Cerro Grande’s (the night’s VAR) decision by posting two screenshots on his Instagram profile following the game.
One picture was from the game against Celta, while the other was from the most recent derby against RCD Espanyol, where he had another goal disallowed in a circumstance that was almost exactly the same.

Despite the fact that the CTA and the RFEF are in charge of VAR decisions and refereeing, the Barcelona star used irony to deliver a clear message.
He tagged the accounts of La Liga and Javier Tebas along with the pictures, saying, “What an eye!”
The controversy surrounding VAR rulings has resurfaced as a result of Torres’s dissatisfaction with these two tiny rulings. Those close to Barcelona feel the side are being unfairly punished.
