Barcelona ace Joao Felix expresses discontent over disallowed goal vs Granada on social media

Barcelona forward Joao Felix has openly expressed discontent over his disallowed goal on social media by liking several posts that were published about the incident.

It must be noted that Felix came tantalizingly close to scoring the late winner against Granada. In the 93rd minute, the Portuguese forward executed a precise header from a cross delivered by Joao Cancelo, seemingly sealing yet another remarkable comeback for Barcelona. 

However, the hopes were dashed as both the linesman and VAR intervened, denying Barça the three points as the game ended 2-2.

Now, Felix knew that he was in an onside position when the ball was delivered by Cancelo from the right wing. 

However, little did he know that the linesman had flagged Ferran Torres for an alleged offside after coming to the conclusion that his attempted jump had an impact on the play.

Felix open to expressing his discontent

The aforementioned incident left both the Barcelona faithful and Felix less than convinced, with the player openly expressing his frustration online. The Portuguese forward liked several posts on Twitter that questioned the validity of Ferran’s offside call and his influence.

Quite particularly, he ‘liked’ two images, one comparing the incident to a similar goal awarded to Real Madrid and another illustrating that the ball was clearly above the former Manchester City player and that he had no impact on the incident.

Meanwhile, apart from Felix, even Barcelona manager Xavi raised questions about the incident. When asked about it in the post-match conference, he said,

“Felix’s goal ruled out? It seems that Ferran interferes in the play, but we don’t know with whom. Who is he interfering with? It’s not clear to me,”

“Just as the referee can rule out Felix’s goal, he can also give it. I think Torres doesn’t interfere, whether Ferran jumps or not, the ball goes to the same place.”
