A Granada Player Hit The Ref In The Face WIth A Bottle Of Gatorade After Today’s Match Against Real Madrid

A late own goal put Granada at further risk of relegation from La Liga and handed Real Madrid—already league champions—a 2-1 win that was followed by a series of red cards and an eventual riot police escort off the pitch for a referee that didn't grant Granada a late corner kick in added time.

It's not clear which Granada player chucked the nearly-full bottle of Gatorade (or some equivalent beverage) at the referee, but the ref took it clear in the face—after which authorities were called in to quell the melee. [GOLTV]
