If dropping points wasn’t bad enough on Saturday, Barcelona supporters were left fuming over an incident in their 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo at the Nou Camp.
Still smarting after the controversy last weekend in their draw with Valencia as Lionel Messi was denied a goal despite his effort clearly crossing the line after a Neto fumble, there was more to come this weekend.
Replays showed that Luis Suarez’s goal should have stood, as he was onside in the build-up, but the linesman thought otherwise and raised his flag to deny the hosts a goal.
In turn, the Catalan giants were held to their second consecutive draw in La Liga, which now offers Real Madrid an opportunity to close the gap to just six points if they defeat Athletic Bilbao this weekend.
Meanwhile, Valencia will also be buoyed by the result as they could close the gap at the top to just two points, but the focus after the game for Barcelona fans was on the controversial decision as they were left infuriated by the calls that continue to go against them so far this season.
Barcelona robbed in the last two games.

Another week another terrible call. Suarez is absolutely onside and puts the ball in the net but it’s called off.
