A dangerous scene emerged from Saturday’s Valencia tilt against Barcelona.

Leo Messi scored a late penalty to give Barcelona the 3-2 victory, and while he and his teammates celebrated near Valencia fans, a water bottle flew out of the crowd and hit Neymar in the head:

Messi was absolutely livid, shouting back at the fans. And it appears other projectiles flew down after the comeback victory.

It’s obvious to say it, but it needs to be said anyway: There’s no place for that in sports or anywhere else.
