Uefa has rejected Real Madrid's complaint against Barcelona for unsporting behaviour following last week's Champions League semi-final, first-leg which was marred in controversy.
Sport and AS both report that Uefa's disciplinary committee met on Monday and threw out Madrid's complaint.
The Whites reported Barcelona players Dani Alves, Sergio Busquets, Pedro, Jose Pinto, Seydou Keita and Victor Valdes for unsporting behaviour following their 2-0 loss at the Bernabeu.
They said Barca players repeatedly showed unsporting behaviour that led to the referee making mistakes, including Pepe's sending off.
Uefa, however, did not agree, and it is expected Madrid will appeal their decision.
Regarding Jose Mourinho's post-match comments, Uefa will make a decision on Friday when the commission for control and discipline meet to investigate the case.

Real Madrid have produced video evidence claiming that Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets issued a racist slur towards full-back Marcelo.
The footage, which can be seen at the 1:50 mark of this video at RealMadrid.com, shows Busquets partially covering his mouth while speaking to Marcelo.
The video's captioning seems to claim that Busquets is saying "mono, mono," which translates from Spanish into English as, "monkey, monkey."
Barcelona declined to give comment to Goal.com regarding the allegations contained in the video.
Busquets was one of six players reported by Madrid to European governing body Uefa for 'unsporting conduct' following the recent meeting of the two sides.
Uefa have dismissed complaints made by both clubs, while Jose Mourinho's controverial post-match comments are being treated as a separate incident, with a decision to be made on Friday as to whether or not the Portuguese coach faces punishment.
