Laliga: I Made A Mistake Referee Lahoz Confesses After Making Barca Lose Title

Former LaLiga referee, Mateu Lahoz, has admitted to committing an error that forced Barcelona to lose out on the 2013-14 title.

Lahoz was appointed for the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid during which he cancelled Lionel Messis goal adjudged offside.

At that period, there was no video assistant referees and the centre referees decision was final.

The ball that led to the goal had come to Messi from Juanfran Torres, rather than Cesc Fabregas, forcing Lahoz to whistle for offside.

Years after, the referee has admitted he made a mistake, explaining that Messis goal should have stood, as it was not offside, according to BarcaBlaugranes.
