Barcelona players were in the midst of celebrating their first title under Xavi, when things turned nasty. As some of Espanyol’s fans made their way onto the field, Barcelona players were chased down the tunnel, ushering in a speedy exodus to the dressing rooms. The celebrations were set to begin across most of the city, with Barcelona clinching the title since Messi departed, amid the crisis engulfing the club. Ter Stegen is closing in on clean sheet record, having already broken the record of Manchester City legend Claudio Bravo of 23 games last month. However, the game did not pass without drama as a late consolation saw Espanyol score, with Ter Stegen waiting for the clean sheet record.
