Last season, FC Barcelona proved to be the best in La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup. However, everything indicates that the Pride of Catalonia won't win any title in this year's competition.
Currently, Barca is only fighting to defend the championship title. But Sunday's (April 21) defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico (2-3) resulted in Blaugrana falling 11 points behind the Royals with six rounds before the end. Such a distance seems insurmountable.
Barcelona led twice at Santiago Bernabeu. However, each time, Real was able to equalize. In the added time, Jude Bellingham determined that the match result was in favour of the hosts.
After the last whistle, the visiting players were furious—so much so that Ferran Torres decided to kick the ball towards the stands. He did not expect what would happen with it.
Recently, social media circulated a recording where Torres hit a Real Madrid fan in the head with the ball. The video ended when the injured fan hunched over after the hit. It's hard to say what happened next.
