It is simply astonishing that this goal against Barcelona B was allowed to stand (Video)

Ridiculous

How on Earth did the officials miss this?

Barcelona B continued their poor start to the season with a 3-1 against L’Hospitalet, but they were incredibly unlucky that one of the goals was not ruled out by the officials.

In the 92nd minute of the match, L’Hospitalet kicked off having just been pegged back to 2-1.

However, forward Aitor Ruibal was almost 20 yards inside the Barcelona B half when kick-off was taken. He then received a long ball from the restart and was instrumental in the move that resulted in his side’s third goal.

Remarkably, neither the referee or his officials spotted it and the goal stood.
