Concerning scenes emerged on Tuesday evening during FC Barcelona’s clash with Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona headed into the game with little left to play for, having already lost the title to Real Madrid and their spot in next season’s Champions League secured.
Nevertheless, Xavi was still no doubt keen to end the season on a high and build momentum heading into his first full campaign as Barcelona boss.
And Barcelona did get off to a great start, with Memphis Depay scoring the opening goal 30 minutes in before a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace either side of the break saw La Blaugrana take a 3-0 lead.
Aubameyang adds to Memphis’ earlier goal and it’s 2-0! ??

Iago Aspas did pull one back 50 minutes in, but any hope of a comeback was ended when Jeison Murillo was shown a red card shortly before the hour mark.
