Espanyol could be set for a punishment after an object was thrown from the stands on Wednesday night, allegedly hitting Jasper Cillessen.
The Dutch goalkeeper was furious after appearing to be struck when preparing a goal kick after 75 minutes of Barcelona's 1-0 defeat at RCDE Stadium.
All eyes will now be on the referee's report into the incident with the home team putting up a message on the scoreboard afterwards to make clear that such an attack is an offence with severe consequences.
