Galatasaray began by winning the match against Barcelona, ​​for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16, but was unable to maintain the advantage. The ‘Azulgranas’ came back and the Turkish fans began to get desperate, they even attacked Jordi Alba, throwing some objects at him from the stands. Given this, the side responded with a ball.

The clock was approaching 85 minutes and the atmosphere was tense at the Nef Stadium in Istanbul, since the local fans were pressing for their team to tie and extend the definition. At that moment, those led by Xavi Hernández had a winger on the left wing, on the opposite ground.

Jordi Alba was in charge of carrying out the execution, but he was unable to carry out the movement, due to the fall of some things from the stands. The Spanish soccer player entered the field with the ball in his hands and the Italian referee Daniele Orsato realized what had happened, so he began to talk with the members of the two leading clubs.

After a brief chat, the left back was convinced to take the serve, although again he was unable to resume the clash: again objects were thrown and one fell on his calf. The Barcelona star returned to the pitch immediately and chose to respond, lobbing the ball hard into the stands.

The Galatasaray footballers did not take this reaction well and went to face Jordi Alba, generating a brawl on the field. The match judge decided to admonish the ‘Azulgrana’ for his aggressive actions and, after a request for calm, the match had to continue. Finally, the Turkish team fell 2-1 and said goodbye to the Europa League.
