Torres volleyed home a fine strike from a great pass by Pedri in the second half and thought he had made it 2-0 to Barcelona.

However, the goal was then disallowed for offside but the image that was released sparked controversy and left Flick bemused by the decision to rule it out. La imagen del fuera de juego por el que se anuló el 2-0 de Ferran Torres 😳 pic. twitter.

It’s not the first time that this has happened, either. Torres was denied a goal in similar circumstances just a few weeks ago against Espanyol when Eric Garcia was deemed to be offside in the build up.
