Celebrate goals at your own risk in La Liga games.
Barcelona earned a thrilling 3-2 road win over Valencia on Saturday thanks to superstar Lionel Messi’s stoppage-time penalty, but that took a backseat after a fan threw a bottle at teammate Neymar’s head during the post-goal celebration. Luis Suarez also apparently was hit with an object.
