Jordi Alba dives to win worst penalty ever as Barcelona star is THREE YARDS away from nearest Eibar player

Barcelona came from two goals down to win 3-2 in Luis Enrique's final home game

JORDI ALBA can claim to have won the worst penalty EVER after a ridiculous decision in Barcelona's win over Eibar.

The Spanish left-back shot from the edge of the box and went down as if he'd been tripped from behind.

But replays showed the 28-year-old was around THREE YARDS from his nearest opponent.

The home side came from two goals down to beat Eibar 4-2 in Barcelona boss Luis Enrique's final game at the Nou Camp.

Barca had a chance to win the title - needing to win and Real Madrid to lose - but their dreams were all but over inside two minutes when Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Malaga.

Eibar had gone 2-0 up at the Nou Camp with Inui scoring twice to shock the home side.

But When Junca scored an own goal the floodgates opened as Barca pushed desperately for goals.

Lionel Messi missed a penalty before Luis Suarez levelled for the home side.
