An eventful night at the Mestalla to say the least...
There are certain things in sport that JOE considers to be sacrilege like choosing to watch the Antiques Roadshow over the All-Ireland Final or having a single bad word to say against Paul O'Connell.
Trying to injure Lionel 'A god amongst mere mortals' Messi is definitely a sporting crime which is why we didn't like seeing this footage from Barcelona's dramatic win against Valencia.
Luis Enrique's side won the match thanks to a last-gasp 94th minute winner from Sergio Busquets but in the celebration that followed it's clear that the little genius took a sore knock on his noggin from a plastic bottle that was thrown from the crowd.
Down with this sort of thing!

The win sees Barcelona maintain second spot, 2 points behind leaders Real Madrid, although Neymar could have seen red for this headbutt* on Otamendi
Have a look.
* We loath to use the word headbutt here because Otamendi is really acting like a big girls blouse.
