The scene had caused a lot of talk in Spain, but also in France, where those nostalgic for Javier Pastore savor every news about the former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder. But this time, it wasn't for a new little bridge, but for a cable bust. On the bench against Barca, the Argentinian came out of his gongs in the last minutes of a match that ultimately lost 2-1, even insulting the referee “son of a p**”, immediately receiving a red card.
“My apologies for not being able to help on the pitch”
Conscious of his mistake, “El Flaco” apologized on his Twitter account: “I would like to express my most sincere apologies for my reaction on Sunday during the match against FC Barcelona. It was the result of the tension that surrounds a game like this, in which the team did everything to achieve a victory that slipped away in the final moments. Throughout my career, I have never done this, and I want to use this space to publicly apologize to my teammates, the technical staff, the club and the refereeing corps, whom I have always respected, and I will continue to do so. And also to you, ”franjiverdes”, my apologies for not being able to help on the field in the next matches.” Confessed fault, half forgiven? It will be up to the La Liga Disciplinary Committee to decide.
To summarize
Javier Pastore, the former PSG midfielder now in Elche, apologized after insulting a referee during the match against Barça. He posted a long apologetic message on his personal Twitter account.
