Barcelona captain Gerard Piqué has insisted that Napoli's opening goal in the Europa League first leg meeting on Thursday night should not have stood because Victor Osimhen was offside in the build-up.

Piqué noted that Osimhen was offside in the first phase of play when the counter attack was launched by Napoli.

However, the goal was given after a VAR review with the Nigeria international deemed not to be interfering with play.

"It is very clear. The offside rule is a bit like that of the hand inside the area, confusing. The referee should have whistled offside," Pique told Movistar+ post-match.

Osimhen was caught offside the most during the contest, three times over the course of 80 minutes he was on parade at the Camp Nou.
