Espanyol linked watering system to try to avoid the party of rival Barcelona on the pitch

Barcelona became champion last Thursday by beating Espanyol 2-0 in the Catalonia derby, in a game that ended with an unusual episode. In an attempt to avoid Barcelona’s celebration on her lawn, Espanyol officials linked the irrigation system shortly after the game.

The sprinklers went into operation, but instead of crashing the party, they eventually gave it an even more special touch. Wet but visibly happy, Barça players celebrated with enthusiasm, indifferent to the rival club’s gesture.

The moment was captured by supporters and shared on social networks, where it quickly became viral.
