Barcelona won their first La Liga title for four years by beating Espanyol on Sunday evening but their celebrations were cut short when opposition fans stormed the pitch to chase the jubilant players off.
Xavi’s side secured their 27th league title with a 4-2 win at their local rivals thanks to goals from Robert Lewandowski (2), Alejandro Balde and Jules Kounde, with only late consolations from Javi Puado and Joselu for the home side.
The Barca players were understandably jubilant and were celebrating together in the centre-circle at the RCDE Stadium.
However, the celebrations didn’t last long as the players went from joyful to panicking, with Espanyol fans breaking onto the pitch and dashing towards them.
The players, along with members of staff who were on the field celebrating, ran down the tunnel to escape the onrushing opposition fans, ending their little party in swift fashion.
The party will go on elsewhere, though, after Barcelona wrapped up the title with four games to play, currently 14 points clear of Real Madrid.
