Valencia CF have been charged for their conduct last weekend when they played Barcelona at the Mestalla. There was a bottle-throwing incident when Lionel Messi scored the winner for the visitors with less than a minute to spare.
But the Argentina forward and his teammates seemed to have provoked the home fans with their celebration. Various trending images from the match showed Los Blaugrana players reacting to the bottle-throwing incident by falling on the ground while some, led by Messi, turned to celebrate in a provocative manner in front of the home fans. As reported by Marca, part of the statement released by LaLiga’s Competition Committee read:
''The aforementioned behaviour of some players of Barcelona was ridiculous and worthy of a sanction on its own.’’
It added:
"The reproachable behaviour of Barcelona players should not be overlooked, in particular certain gestures and expressions to the public during the celebration of they had just scoring a goal.’’
The home team suffered the larger consequence of the incident, having been fined approximately 1,500 Euros. But Barcelona, on the other hand, received a warning. Los Che have 10 days to file an appeal.
