Valencia have condemned certain fans' behaviour after bottles were thrown from the crowd following Lionel Messi's late winner.
Following Messi's late winner, a bottle was thrown from the crowd at La Mestalla and hit Neymar in the face. Valencia released a statement on Twitter saying that the club "condemns" such behaviour from fans.
"Valencia condemns the throwing of a bottle by a fan at a Barcelona player," they said in a statement.
"Violent behaviour is not tolerated and the club will investigate this incident and continue with preventative work in order to avoid this kind of action".
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique added: "It certainly isn't something that the majority of Valencia fans like to see, and me neither.
"We celebrated a goal as you have to celebrate against an opponent who makes things difficult".
