The Córdoba player José Manuel Calderón has apologized for the insulting comments he made towards the Catalans during the celebration of his team’s promotion to the Second Division, statements that he admitted he made “in the midst of euphoria”which were “inappropriate“and he regrets”deeply“.
The Córdoba left back made those hurtful comments towards the Catalans through a live stream on Instagram. Before starting this Monday the parade that took the team throughout the city, he broadcast a live video from inside the open-top bus that took them to the Nuevo Arcángel stadium and said: “I shit on the dead of all Catalans“.
