Spanish Journalist Apologies to Barcelona Forward after Comparing him Wrongly
A Spanish journalist Salvador Sostres has apologised to Spain and Barcelona forward Ansu Fati after he compared the player to a black street vendor in their 5-1 Champions League win over Ferencvaros.
17-year-old Ansu Fati scored and made a goal in their Champions League game. France forward Griezmann said: “Ansu is an exceptional boy who deserves respect like any human being. No to racism and no to rudeness.”
Fati is the first player under 18 to score two Champions League goals. Salvador Sostres’ match report in Spanish newspaper ABC had likened the Spain winger to a black street vendor who runs away when approached by the police.
In the apology he said that he was attempting to “praise the beauty of Ansu’s movements” and was “deeply sorry for any misunderstanding”.
