Valencia Fan Hits Neymar and Messi in the Head with a Water Bottle After Late Barcelona Win

Don't be surprised if you discover soon that Valencia fans have been penalized for the incident.

The end of Barcelona vs. Valencia was literally riotous after Messi took a late penalty to seal a 3-2 win for the Catalan side. While huddling in celebration, the Barça squad was pelted with a water bottle that appeared to hit both Messi and Neymar in the head.

The Valencia fans were pissed at the outcome—that Barcelona had been awarded a penalty with roughly 20 seconds to go in stoppage time.

Penalty at the death. @Teammessi to take it. @FCBarcelona with a chance to win in the last moment! #beINLaLiga https://t.co/GQJhynRjgl

But the trip on Suarez, in the box—even if it was played up a good bit—was ultimately deserving of a PK. It was just a childish response from Valencia fans. Don't be surprised if you discover soon that they have been penalized for the incident.
