The Catalan giants overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit to claim a 6-5 aggregate win over PSG to progress into the quarterfinals.

However, the PSG players took issue with a number of referee Deniz Aytekin's decisions, including the decision to award Barcelona a penalty in the 88th minute.

According to Marca, Aytekin is highly unlikely to manage a high-profile fixture in a European competition.

The referee's match report has been received by the head of the European Refereeing committee, Pierluigi Collina at the headquarters in Nyon.

Marca also report that any form of punishment will not be made public due to the way UEFA handle these officiating issues.

Aytekin will be in charge of Hamburg's clash with Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
