" Be careful, football is like life. If you don't succeed, you risk finding yourself at a traffic light ." These were the words of the former goalkeeper and assistant coach of Atletico Madrid, German 'Mono' Burgos, for Lamin Jamal before the start of the PSG-Barcelona match, during a segment broadcast by the Spanish network Movista. Commentator Burgos apologized on Instagram for the comment, which was considered racist for the Blaugrana footballer.
" I make this statement apologizing for my words in yesterday's program. It was not my intention to harm Lamin Jamal, the people of FC Barcelona, the players, UEFA, or the Movistar Plus+ platform where I work. When I made the comment I chose to joke about qualitative and flattering virtues, in no case was it about any ethnicity or social class ."
" After spending so many years in football, I am excited to see the new players. I especially admire the amount of young talent that Barça is producing because I believe that quality always triumphs in the end. I'm a pro-camera coach and in all the teams I've been in, I've been concerned about bringing youngsters into training with the first team. I apologize to anyone who was offended by my comment. My intention was not to disparage Lamin Jamal, on the contrary ".
