German "Mono" Burgos is in trouble again. This time, not for his actions on the touchline, as in the years when he was Diego Simeone's loyal right-hand man. The Argentinian has been fired from his position as a columnist for the Spanish television "Movistar" because of the comments he made about the new star of Barcelona, Lamin Jamal.
Before the match, footage of Jamal warming up and his touch on the ball were being commented on. " If it doesn't work, it will end up at a traffic light ," Burgos said in the hall, bringing laughter from other people.
But they did not welcome him with such humor in Barcelona, where indignation erupted against him and the racist expression against Jamal. The club announced that no footballer would talk about "Movistar" after the match, as soon as such a comment was signaled to him.
Burgos apologized, calling it a joke, but the Catalans were firm in their decision. This forced Movistar to fire Burgos, eventually removing her from her match commentary.
