A spectator stormed the pitch on Thursday evening during the last minutes of Spanish powerhouse Barcelona's exhibition football match in Oslo against Norwegian side Valerenga, dpa reported.

The man was apprehended by security guards after he managed to give Barcelona forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic a bear hug.

The 28-year-old Sweden international did not appear particularly bothered over the incident.

A spokeswoman for the hosts told the online edition of Oslo daily Dagbladet that the incident was regrettable.

Barcelona won the friendly 4-2. Victor Sanchez scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the game. Maxwell, Benja Martinez and Keita also scored for the La Liga champions.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola used all 22 players in his squad.

Valerenga's Harmeet Singh converted a penalty, equalizing the match at 1-1 in the 15th minute, and the home team's Bojan Zajic scored the final goal of the match in the 66th minute.
