Barcelona’s clash with Valencia wasn’t short of drama, with the visitors emerging victorious after a late penalty.
Goals, heart-break, late drama, controversy – the game had it all. But there were two incidents in the match that won’t reflect well on either clubs.
While Barcelona were celebrating Messi’s late penalty with a team-huddle, Neymar was hit with a bottle thrown by someone from the Valencia section of the crowd.

This seems to have infuriated the normally calm Lionel Messi greatly and he responded by giving a mouthful to the Valencia supporters.

Valencia have condemned the unfortunate incident, but it remains to be seen if Messi will face any charges for his outburst.
