It wasn't a good night for linesmen at the Copa del Rey clash between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
In the second half, with Atletico already behind 3-2 (4-2 on aggregate), Atletico's Arda Turan lost his cool and launched his boot in the assistant referee's direction.
Oddly, he escaped with nothing more than a yellow card.
The video of Arda Turan throwing his boot can be watched above.
And, as if the boot toss wasn't bad enough, Barcelona's Jordi Alba was also smashed in the face by the same lineman's flag. The incident can be watched in the video below.
