AllsportA spectator threw a banana at Barcelona full-back Dani Alves during his team's match with Villarreal.
Alves said after the match that humour is the best way to combat racism in sports.
"We have suffered this in Spain for some time," Alves said. "You have to take it with a dose of humour. We aren't going to change things easily. If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective."
Alves had already played a key part in the match sparking his team's comeback from 2-0 down when his off-target shot was turned in by Villarreal's Gabriel Armando in the 65th minute.
Shortly after the banana incident, Alves launched a cross that
Mateo Musacchio headed past his own keeper before
Lionel Messi scored Barcelona's winner.
The win kept Barcelona four points from league leaders Atletico Madrid.
