Were Barcelona LUCKY after Lo Celso's goal was overturned? 👀

Alejandro Moreno has no trouble spotting the handball. His hesitation comes with everything that happens afterward: deflections, aerial duels and, eventually, Giovani Lo Celso's finish.

ESPN UK's Short, "Were Barcelona LUCKY after Lo Celso's goal was overturned? 👀", separates two questions that can easily get bundled together. Did Cucho Hernández handle the ball? Moreno is emphatic that he did, pointing to the movement of his arm. Does that make the long rewind to erase the goal any less frustrating for Real Betis? Not to Moreno.

"I can understand why the Betis fans are upset," he says, also expressing sympathy with manager Manuel Pellegrini. He praises Lo Celso's finish while agreeing with Luis García about the extended passage of play preceding it. The dispute is less about the touch itself than how much soccer unfolds before the decision catches up.

The clip reached roughly 67,000 views in ten hours, far beyond the channel's usual Shorts start. Its comments had already passed three times a normal full day's total. Viewers focus on whether possession changed or play stopped, while several recall a disallowed Fermín López goal in El Clásico as a comparison.

Barcelona's win is giving ESPN UK more than a refereeing discussion. A separate Short featuring Rodri's handball verdict and another about Lamine Yamal are also drawing unusually fast audiences, alongside the longer panel reaction to the match.

What viewers say

Gerard Martin immediately reacted on the handball but the referee didn't see it. This is why we have VAR

VAR can't intervene until the play is stopped....that's why it was delayed and they told the ref to take a look it's a handball....and it results in a goal being scored....same sequence

The point is it’s an handball and it should have been Barca ball then.
