The Catalans cruised to a 4-2 win at the home of their neighbors on Sunday to seal their first domestic crown in four years.

On the final whistle, Barca stars and boss Xavi gathered in the centre circle to hold hands in a 'ring o' roses' style celebration. 

But the occasion was marred by fans of relegation-threatened Espanyol, who avoided security to sprint on a disrupt the festivities. They headed straight towards the Barcelona players, with some seen throwing chairs and bottles. Terrified Barcelona players instantly ran towards to tunnel to escape the angry mob.

One member of backroom staff was seen falling to the ground during the rush.

After Barcelona's stars had escaped, the rowdy pitch invaders then turned on Espanyol's unpopular board. It was later confirmed that all Barcelona players and staff had escaped unhurt.

Xavi later commented: "It’s normal to celebrate but I understand that we are not at home and we cannot be disrespectful"
