Victor Rodriguez was the ‘lucky’ victim of Barcelona’s changing room banter following Getafe’s 2-0 defeat to the Catalan’s on Saturday.
Kitted out in array of the usual Halloween paraphernalia, Batman, Wolfman etc, certain members of the first team squad initially wanted to spook coach Luis Enrique. Only for the prank to backfire hilariousness when opposition player Victor Rodriguez was busy giving his press conference instead.
Rodriguez’s face is an absolute picture…

Update: they’ve apologised, here’s an official club statement;
“Our emergence in the post-game interview area during Victor Rodríguez’s press conference was an unfortunate and involuntary accident.
“We would like to personally apologise to him, as well as to express our respect for him. The images recorded demonstrate that one of the players who was participating said: ‘Where are we going? We went the wrong way.’
“The team is aware of the responsibility that comes with being a player for FC Barcelona and would like to apologise to anyone who may have been offended, especially Getafe’s players and supporters.
“We have an unwavering commitment as well to the members and supporters of FC Barcelona, who have to be able to feel proud of the team, both on and off the field.”
