After the fracas had cooled, West Ham's Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off for grabbing Pedro around the neck.
Cucurella was asked about the incident during an appearance on Catalan outlet 3Cat.
He explained: "It was towards the end of the match, I put my body in a bit, we wrestled (for the ball).
"There was a moment when I got up and saw that I was very close to him, so I thought, ‘I'm going to stick my head in there to see if I can stir things up’.
"Then he grabbed me, threw me, and a big brawl broke out! These things happen, I have no problem with it."
Cucurella added: "Joao Pedro saved my life, honestly. If I were Joao, I would have run backwards."

After joking that he was unsure if he would say hello to Traore if they crossed paths, host Gerard Moreno brought the forward into the call.
Squashing their feud, Traore said: "It was in the heat of the moment, nothing more. I know he's a good guy and it's nothing personal, it all stays on the pitch."
The January signing continued: "I didn't mean to do it, it wasn't my intention. I just wanted to talk to the linesman."
Cucurella then admitted: "Now I'm calm because there's a screen between us."
