There were some disturbing scenes in Spain on Sunday night as the La Liga season concluded.
And no, we’re not just talking about Pepe coming onto the pitch with a selfie stick following Real Madrid’s title winning game against Malaga.

Something a lot more disturbing happened across country, where Barcelona hosted Eibar and won a penalty for an embarrassing tumble.
The Catalan side needed Real Madrid to slip up in their game, and to win their own game at the Nou Camp, to retain the La Liga title.
However, goals from Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo meant the Madrid game was never in doubt, as they secured their first league title in five years.
Zinedine Zidane’s side had a relatively comfortable night’s work, unlike their great rivals Barcelona.
Barca were 2-0 down to minnows Eibar with 30 minutes to play. Their chances of winning the league essentially disappeared when Cristiano Ronaldo scored after two minutes, but they fought to get back into their own game, and at times resorted to desperate measures.
With the score at 2-1, Jordi Alba, somehow, won a penalty for this ludicrous dive. The full-back went to ground despite receiving no contact from an opponent.
However, Messi missed the subsequent penalty, so justice was served. Barcelona went on to win the game 4-2, but Madrid took home their first league title since Jose Mourinho was manager.
And #LaLiga Oscar goes to Alba 😂😂😂😂🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
