Barcelona Apologize For Mocking Real Betis In A Tweet
Barcelona have apologised for mocking Real Betis following a 5-2 win over their La Liga rivals on Sunday. Following the victory at the Nou Camp , Barcelona tweeted a photo of defender Junior Firpo holding up five fingers with the caption 'Junior knows'.
The La Liga champions signed Spain Under-21 international Firpo from Real Betis in August. The club tweeted : "Barcelona wish to sincerely apologise for any offence caused to Real Betis. No disrespect was intended, but we were wrong to publish it on a night that was very special for Junior. Firpo made his Barcelona debut during the 5-2 win, coming on for Brazilian midfielder Rafinha after 81 minutes. The 23-year-old featured in 29 games for Betis last season and was part of Spain's U21 European Championship-winning side in June.
