Tottenham's statement emphasized their discontent with the severity of Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-game suspension, asserting, "While we accept the guilty finding against Rodrigo by the independent regulatory commission, we believe the subsequent sanction is severe." This reflects the club's stance that although they acknowledge the misconduct, they perceive the punishment as disproportionately harsh, which led them to file an appeal to lessen the suspension duration.
Rodrigo Bentancur publicly apologized via social media for his remarks regarding Son Heung-min, recognizing his error as he stated, "Lolo [Bentancur] made a mistake, he knows this and has apologized. I've spoken with him, and we are brothers; nothing has changed at all." This suggests that Benatcur's intention was not to offend, as expressed by Son's understanding of the situation.
