Did Sergio Busquets step on Pepe’s head on purpose?

We don’t know, so we must ask the world.

After Lionel Messi's first goal of El Clásico, there was a bit of a scuffle in front of the Real Madrid net. That scuffle apparently resulted in Sergio Busquets stepping on the head of Pepe, which the internet brought our attention to with this picture.

Holy crap! That looks pretty bad, but it’s not clear exactly what’s going on. Is Busquets actually looking down to line up his stomp? Was he just off-balance and not realizing what was going on? Maybe a photographer just caught this incident at the worst possible moment and it’s not that bad.

Well, we can see more in this Vine. But it’s still not totally conclusive.

So we put this question to the internet: Do you think Sergio Busquets stomped on Pepe’s head on purpose? It’s up to you to decide what is true in the world.
