Barcelona have apologised to Diario Gol journalist Victor Malo, whose surname (meaning bad) was mocked by manager Luis Enrique in his press conference after losing 2-1 to Valencia.
He had asked a question about whether the physical preparation at the club is affecting their bad results. And the coach replied by saying: "What was your surname?"
The journalist responded "Malo". And Luis Enrique said: "Correct, next question." Malo, in Spanish, means bad.
SPORT spoke to Malo on Monday and he revealed that nobody had personally apologised to him, but Barcelona as a club did to the address of his newspaper.
He had said that he was "expecting a tough response" from Lucho about his question.
Malo said: "Nobody from the club has called me to apologise directly, but they called the newspaper to do so."
