Mono Burgos made a racist comment about Lamine Yamal on Movistar. The former Atlético Madrid coach then apologized on set.
No player from Barca or PSG spoke on the Movistar microphone after the match. The two clubs informed us that they were not going to come because they were extremely angry by a comment that was made on our set,” explained journalist Ricardo Sierra from the mixed zone after the meeting. “It was a comment without trying to hurt anyone. It's something we talk about in football. If anyone felt offended, I publicly apologize. It was not my intention. In these times, you have to adapt to everything when you try to make jokes,’ Mono Burgos tried to apologize to Yamal after the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Parc des Princes. Uruguayan defender Yamal scored a brace in the 2-1 win for the home side. The second leg takes place on Tuesday night at the Camp Nou.
