Jordi Alba and his Barcelona team were on the wrong end of a real drubbing last night, and they really didn’t like it.

In case you missed it in the biggest game of the year last night, Jordi Alba let his frustration get to him when he threw the ball in Arjen Robben’s face at a throw in.
Robben went down very easily, appearing to have been seriously injured, which is totally out of character, of course. Alba was booked, and as a result will miss the return leg in the Camp Nou.
Barring a miracle in the Camp Nou, this is the end of Barcelona’s Champions League this season, so perhaps his frustration is understandable. The phrase, “a taste of your own medicine” comes to mind though, as this is the type of result Barcelona normally dish out, you’d think they could try to be a little bit more gracious in defeat.
