Spanish champions Barcelona have, in a statement on their website, apologised to Saturday La liga opponents Getafe over any possible embarrassment caused by Barcelona players who gate-crashed a Getafe media event dressed in Halloween costumes.
The statement read: “In no case was it our intention to offend and/or upset any member of Getafe’s team.
“Our emergence in the post-game interview area during Víctor Rodríguez’s press conference was an unfortunate and involuntary accident. We would like to personally apologise to him, as well as to express our respect for him.
“The footage demonstrates that one of the players who was participating said: ‘Where are we going? We went the wrong way.
“The team is aware of the responsibility that comes with being a Barcelona player and would like to apologise to anyone who may have been offended, especially Getafe’s players and supporters.
“We have an unwavering commitment as well to the members and supporters of Barcelona, who should be able to feel proud of the team, both on and off the field”, the statement concludes.”
