LaLiga denounces Pique family insults

The Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) has sent a complaint to the committee of the Spanish FA (RFEF) and the Anti Violence Commission for the events that occurred surrounding Gerard Pique in the Catalan derby.

Continual chants were directed towards Pique, as well as banners, and they intensified after he scored Barcelona's equaliser in the 82nd minute, where he tried to silence the fans with a hand gesture in his celebration.
In the letter, chants of 'Barca whores' and 'Pique a**hole, Shakira has a tail, your son is Wakaso's [a former midfielder of Espanyol] and you're queer' were heard at different parts of the game, but particularly after the two goals.
It does indicate that the Barcelona centre-back ran towards the Espanyol fans 'making a gesture towards the supporters by placing his forefinger on his lips in a sign of silence'.
However, in some images it looks like Pique is making a particularly derogatory hand gesture, something he denied after the game.

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards. Both Clasico clubs have regularly claimed to have been victimised by officials but do the official stats support either side's case? Clement Lenglet's dismissal for an alleged elbow on Pere Pons in Barcelona's Liga draw with Girona on Sunday caused all sorts of controversy. Even Pons was surprised by referee Gil Manzano's VAR-assisted decision to dismiss Lenglet, with the midfielder admitting afterwards that he thought that he had fouled the French defender. "I took a blow but when I got up, I apologised to Lenglet and shook his hand because I thought it was my fault," he confessed. As bemused Barca boss Ernesto Valverde pointed out afterwards, "It's the first time that the player who is sent off receives an apology from his rival for fouling him!" It was a significant call, too, as Barcelona were leading through a Lionel Messi...
