After Spain completed their dominating performance in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Italy in the Euro 2012 soccer tournament, the players got into a huddle and began to celebrate. Unfortunately, that celebration was briefly disturbed by a fan who invaded the pitch and tried to push his way into the middle of Spain's team circle.
We don't have video at this time, but we do have this GIF from the incident:
After the pitch invader pushed one of the Spain players in the back, a security guard was able to pull the rogue fan away from the circle. The man was pulled away just in time as Xabi Alonso turned and took a swing at him but missed. Hopefully the man spent the rest of the night in jail.
