Movistar has asked for “public apologies” for the words of Germán el “Mono” Burgos about Lamine Yamal during the preview of the Champions League quarterfinals this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. While the PSG and Barça players warmed up, the former Argentine footballer said about the young Blaugrana that “if he didn’t do well in football, he would end up at a traffic light.”
The commentator’s statements have raised a lot of dust and the first reactions were from the clubs and players themselves, who refused to answer the microphones on the platform after the match in Paris. Hours later, Movistar issued a statement to apologize for the “unfortunate comments” of Germán Burgos, popularly known as Mono Burgos.
During the broadcast of the match, a commentator praised Lamine’s touches saying: “Look at the quality, look at the little touches from Lamine Yamal.” El Mono Burgos responded: “If it doesn’t go well, it ends at a traffic light,” in addition to adding that: “Football is like life.” Her comment was accompanied by laughter during the broadcast.
It should be added that the former footballer has already apologized for a comment that he did not want to “hurt anyone.”
“Due to the unfortunate comments made by one of the Movistar Plus collaborators in the preview of the UEFA Champions League match between PSG-FC Barcelona about the Blaugrana player Lamine Yamal, the platform publicly apologizes,” says the Movistar letter. .
After the offensive comment by the former Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper, the television platform has also announced that it will take “the appropriate measures to guarantee that these events do not occur again.”
