Higuain: ‘Benatia fouled me but I apologize’

AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain has apologized after the red card he was shown against Juventus last night.

Speaking to Sky Sport, the Argentinean striker said: “First of all I want to apologize with my team-mates and with the fans. The referee knows what I told him, he should have understood the situation. The successive reaction is my responsibility.”

“I think Benatia committed the foul in first place. But the referee said I fouled him and he gave me a yellow card. I’ve already apologized.”

“We can all make mistakes, I am not a robot even if this is no explanation for what I did. I have great memories of Juve and I have a great relationship with my former team-mates.”

“Penalty? Szczesny expected it, but only those who take penalties can miss them. It’s easy to highlight the mistake after. However, I think we were on a pair with a very strong squad.”
