German Burgos, working for Spanish TV station Movistar, sparked controversy with a comment about Barcelona winger Yamal potentially ending up at a traffic light. This led to Barcelona and Paris St-Germain declining interviews with the broadcaster.
Burgos expressed regret for his remark, emphasizing that it was not meant to offend anyone and solely focused on football discussions. He apologized if Yamal felt hurt and clarified that it was unintentional.
Movistar, the TV station employing Burgos, denounced the comments and promised to take necessary actions to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident occurred before Barcelona's Champion League match against PSG.
Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old winger with Spanish, Moroccan, and Equatorial Guinean heritage, holds the record as the youngest player to partake in a Champions League quarter-final. He has already earned six caps for Spain.
