And the award for most unsportsmanlike behaviour of the night goes to… the fan who threw the bottle at Messi.
Things turned sour in Barcelona’s match against Valencia tonight. Lionel Messi was struck by a projectile while trying to celebrate Sergio Busquets’ 11th hour winner. The replay clearly shows that a bottle, thrown form the stands struck the Argentine forward on the head.
Undoubtedly, someone will be cited for committing what can only be described as an act of treason in the football world. You don’t just hurt the best player in the world and get away with it.
