Twitter goes crazy as Barcelona get 'robbed' by referees

Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw at Valencia in a highly controversial game. The Catalan side had the ball behind the line in the first half but the referees failed to spot it and denied Messi a clean goal.

Rodrigo then gave Valencia the lead in the 60th minute. It took a screamer from Jordi Alba for the league leaders to equalise and go home with a point.

Here's how twitter reacted:

La Liga has the worst referee's in the world... pic.twitter.com/EvQ5nKxGxq

Barcelona fans complaining about referee is like Salman Khan complaining about scripts in bollywood movies.

The referee has ridiculed Spanish football. Is it a decision to punish Barcelona or human error, time will tell.

dear @LaLiga The referee who leads Valencia's VS Barcelona match has done a stupidity. The referee was immediately fired. The La Liga should also have Video Assistant Referee (VAR) like the English Premier League #FansBarca #Indonesia @FCBarcelona @FC_BarcelonaTv

Mad that they don’t have goal-line technology in La Liga. Think they’ll be revisiting the debate after Messi’s goal was ruled not to have crossed the line when it clearly did.
