Audio of disallowed Barca goal in Granada comes to light

The VAR continues to be the protagonist in Spanish football for yet another week. 'Jijantes' has brought to light the conversation that Soto Grado and Del Cerro Grande, referee and VAR of the clash, had in the Granada-Barcelona match that ended with blue and white protests.

The media has specifically brought to light why it was decided to disallow Joao Felix's goal for offside by Ferran Torres, when he was not involved in the play.

At first it was ruled offside, a decision that was ratified by Del Cerro Grande from the VAR. However, it was not for positional offside, as was initially understood, but for natural offside.

"I confirm offside. It's clear to me, it's Ferran's impact and he's in position," Del Cerro Grande said to Soto Grado. The truth is that the Spanish international did not touch the ball.

This happened on matchday 9, on 8 October 2023, before the audios were released, so this is another leak that the CTA has already denounced. The final score was 2-2.
