Barcelona coach Luis Enrique wants to move on from the week of controversy that followed last weekend's spiteful 3-2 win at Valencia.
Lionel Messi's match-winning penalty in stoppage time proved the flashpoint for a hectic week after a fan in the Mestalla crowd threw a bottle at Barca players as they celebrated the goal.
Lionel Messi's match-winning penalty in stoppage time proved the flashpoint for a hectic week after a fan in the Mestalla crowd threw a bottle at Barca players as they celebrated the goal.
Subsequent comments from LaLiga president Javier Tebas claiming that the Barca players had incited the crowd ensured the incident remained a central talking point and prompted the Catalan club to request action be taken against him and the Spanish RFEF.
"The declarations made by Tebas are irresponsible and unbecoming of a sports executive," Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu said in a statement.
"(Barca) will bring these declarations before CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) because we want it to see to it that if they produce violence they are punished accordingly."
Luis Enrique was clearly tired of the saga by the time his Friday press conference rolled around as he prepares his side for an important week.
Barca host bottom club Granada at the Nou Camp on Saturday evening before a midweek trip to Manchester City and former boss Pep Guardiola in the Champions League.
"I won't talk any more about the Mestalla," Luis Enrique said.
"At the club we have a set of values that we try to convey. I am not interested in adding fuel to the fire any more.
"We aim to play football, not to kick or injure players. These are the values we try to transmit."
Barca's players do, however, seem to have been affected by the week with Rafinha telling Marca that they might opt to stop celebrating goals.
"If you can't celebrate a goal like the one at Mestalla, then Barcelona might as well not celebrate goals any more," he said.
"We are surprised at Tebas' comments, because as president of LaLiga he should be protecting the players that are a part of it."
Luis Enrique has a growing injury list to contend with, in addition to all the off-field talk, and knows he can not afford to dismiss the threat of Granada, despite the fact they are yet to win in the league.
"The difficulties are the usual ones," he said.
"We have to try to not complicate the game. It is a time of the season in which there has been a high number of injuries, it happens and you have to know how to manage it."
Luis Enrique said he would wait on the fitness of Rafinha, Jasper Cillessen and Arda Turan before deciding on his squad, while Andres Iniesta is set to miss out.
Granada coach Lucas Alcaraz called on his players to build on their goalless draw against Sporting Gijon last weekend, which ended a four-game losing run, which included a 7-1 mauling at Atletico Madrid.
"From the match against Sporting we have to adhere to what went right and correct what went wrong," he said. "In addition to that we must keep fighting.
"I think we have the mindset to overcome adversity, but we have to act on the solutions with the same intensity as we think about them."
Defenders Dimitri Foulquier and Gaston Silva are set to miss out but Alcaraz expects Matthieu Sauniere to be fit while Tito and Ruben Vezo returned to training on Friday after illness
