If LaLiga consider the gesture of Gerard Pique in celebration of the goal he scored against Espanyol to be offensive, they could ban him for between one and three matches.
Pique's hands to his lips gesture, as though to silence the crowd, hasn't found favour in the corridors of power.
LaLiga have denounced him for it and will open a file, which could see any punishment upheld according to El Partidazo de la Cadena Cope.
The Barcelona centre-back remains a controversial player in the eyes of Los Periquitos, and he's been insulted at the venue for years, along with members of his family.

Espanyol fans throw things at Cillessen. Espanyol releases a statement that the fan has been caught, with no proof. La Liga authorities - Ok, cool, we didn't mind anyways, please make sure that the objects hit Pique and not Cillessen next time. Espanyol fans make lewd comments about Pique, Shakira and their kids. No action taken. La Liga authorities - *feign ignorance* We didn't see anything. Espanyol players racially abuse Umtiti. Sergio Garcia comes out and says "My wife is a gypsy and I have coloured friends so I could not have abused him". La Liga authorities - Yes bro my wife is a gypsy too I completely understand your point, please go and insult Umtiti more you've all the right to do so. Espanyol players hit and tackle Barça players left, right and centre during the match, no yellow cards given in most cases. La Liga authorities - Those weren't fouls, those were gentle caresses. And please give the Barça players a yellow card for dissent how dare they fall down and complain. Pique makes the silence gesture which is not racist nor violent, and calls Espanyol 'Espanyol of Cornella', which again is not racist nor violent. Espanyol board - He insulted us by making the crowd who was calling him names shut up, and by saying the name of our stadium! La Liga authorities - That's it! He has crossed the line! He deserves a lifetime ban, but we'll be generous and just give him a three match ban. He's the enemy of the public. What happens when a Real Madrid fan (Javier Tebas) is the president of La Liga.

this is absolute nonsense. ..Spanish league is very Corropt if funs insult a player with his family there is nothing wrong about that but if he score a goal and put his hand on the lips that one is an offence it's time Barcelona leave Spanish league to join other league because the treatment they get is very unfair and some football funs will be saying it's good Pique need to get ban...all laliga want is just Madrid to dominate the Spain league and it's not happening because of Barcelona so they have to try every means to just try to put them down and it's not going to happen
