OFFICIALS made yet another glaring error to deny Luis Suarez from firing Barcelona ahead against Celta Vigo.
The Uruguayan thought he had put the home side 2-1 up when he broke clear of the defenders to smash home Lionel Messi's perfect through ball.
But his celebrations were short lived when he saw the linesman's flag raised for offside.
Suarez looked furious to see his goal ruled out and replays showed he had every right to be.
The 30-year-old was being played on by the left back after timing his run to perfection.
And it only adds salt into the wound just a week after a huge howler to deny Messi a blatant goal against Valencia. Keeper Neto fumbled Messi's shot over the line but managed to paw it away in top of the table clash. Messi and team-mates wheeled away in celebration but were stunned when referee Ignacio Iglesias failed to give it.
Spain's top flight is the only one of Europe's leading five leagues which has so far shunned the use of goal-line technology, much to the frustration of the teams. And last season Barca were not awarded a goal despite television replays showing the ball had crossed the line during a 1-1 draw with Real Betis.
