It had been looking up for the hosts when Vedat Muriqi cancelled out Ferran Torres’ opener on the stroke of half-time.

But things quickly turned ugly when Mojica felled Lamine Yamal in the area to concede a penalty inside 56 minutes.

And the Colombian left-back, who was booked for his clumsy foul on Yamal, was left fuming.

Seconds after Raphinha scored the spot-kick, Mojica, 32, saw the red mist and remarkably lashed out at team-mate Morlanes.
