LaLiga President Javier Tebas has apologized for comments he made last Saturday when Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior was racially insulted by Valencia fans.
Following the event, Tebas accused Vinicius of failing to appear at La Liga meetings discussing his complaints.
Furthermore, Tebas stated:
“It is necessary that you inform yourself. Do not let yourself be manipulated.”
Vinicius was enraged by Tebas’ remarks and posted on social media:
“Once again, instead of criticising racists, the president of LaLiga appears on social media to attack me.”
Tebas, on the other hand, has already apologized for his remarks, stating that he did not want to offend the Brazilian international.
Tebas stated to ESPN Brasil:
“I did not want to attack Vinicius, but if most people understood it that way, I need to apologise. It was not my intention; I expressed myself badly, at a bad time.”
