A PITCH invader managed to invade Barcelona’s league match against Mallorca – despite the game being played behind closed doors.
Just before the 53rd minute a fan snuck onto the pitch much to the bemusement of the players on the field.

The camera soon crossed over to keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, as officials were left clueless at what to do next.
Security managed to get the crazed supporter off the field rather quickly despite his shock arrival.
The fan was wearing an Argentina shirt and attempted to get a selfie with Lionel Messi – who was on top form in his return, providing two assists and a goal.
Arturo Vidal opened the scoring after just two minutes following an assist from Jordi Alba.
Messi had a hand in Barca’s second goal, as he set up Martin Braithwaite, nodding on a header for the Dane to smash home.
Braithwaite, a former Middlesborough player, was an emergency signing for the LaLiga champions in February.

Left-back Alba looked to have scored the final goal of the game, 11 minutes from time, slotting home at the near post after a brilliant first-time Messi pass.
The little maestro then added a late fourth of his own, gliding past two players inside the box and finishing with his right foot.
Barca extended their lead at the top of the table by five points following the win. Real Madrid, trailing in second, play Eibar tomorrow.
