There were no report of casualties including players and the driver but it was believed Gerrard Pique and Samuel Untiti were singled out in the attack by supporters.

It was reported that Pique was subjected to abuse and critique regarding his Catalan identity, while racist slurs were directed towards Umtiti, although these are thus far unconfirmed.
