    Barcelona suffered their second La Liga loss of the season following a 1-0 defeat at Sociedad on Sunday, but Hansi Flick's men controversially had a goal ruled out. A VAR review found that Lewandowski was offside for his 13th minute goal but the Catalan club are complaining there was an error on the part of the system. Now, Relevo claims the Blaugrana want an explanation on this matter.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The report states Barcelona president Joan Laporta was heard saying "It can't be" about the disallowed goal at the Reale Arena and that manager Flick later told referee Cuadra Fernandez that he made the "wrong decision".

    Ultimately, Barca went on to lose the game, meaning they missed the chance to go nine points clear at the top of La Liga.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The report adds Barcelona will ask for explanations to find out exactly what happened and try to find solutions for the future in these types of situations. They also pointed out that the replays didn't show Lewandowski was offside but VAR made the error.
