Barcelona have confirmed that they will not be making a formal complaint over Jose Mourinho's behaviour in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup last week.
The Real Madrid manager appeared to poke the eye of Barca assistant Tito Vilanova at the end of his side's defeat at the Nou Camp on Wednesday.
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell said that they had decided not to lodge a complaint in order to diffuse tension between the two teams.
"There are several reasons, the main one is that we need to stop this atmosphere of extreme tension,'' Rosell said. "There was a consensus among the technical staff not to report the actions of Mourinho.
"To report Mourinho could have affected the team's preparation [for the UEFA Super Cup] and it was Tito Vilanova who asked us to forget the matter.
"The federation and the committees, if they want, must act off their own initiative. Barca will not ask them. What we have to do is forget this business.''
Earlier today it was reported that Mourinho was "not sorry" for his part in the row.
