The 16-year-old’s ‘goal’ on 28 minutes was ruled out by VAR.

Laporta has requested footage and audio of the decision-making over this ‘phantom goal’ incident from the Spanish Football Federation and will then consider further action. He said in a statement on the club’s official website: “If, once this documentation has been analysed, the club understands that an error was made in the revision of the incident, we will take all available measures to reverse the situation, without discounting, obviously, any necessary legal action.

“If it is confirmed that it was a legal goal, we will move ahead and we do not discount requesting that the game be replayed, just as has happened in another game in Europe due to a VAR error.”a stoppage-time winner from Jude Bellingham
