After losing the match with Tottenham, AC Milan midfielder Rino Gattuso has apologized for his actions in the field, in particular against the Spurs assistant coach Joe Jordan: "I was angry after the words we had, otherwise I would have fought with a player and instead I argued with him. I'm not here to say what we said to each other, I was wrong and that’s it. We talked in Scottish, he is Scottish and I’ve played in Scotland".

"It's my fault because fighting with an older person and doing what I did, is just wrong -added Gattuso. I cannot do more than say I was wrong. I lost my head, I did things that I should not have done and take full responsibility. He was annoying me for the entire second half but I should not react like that against a person older than me. A disqualification? I’m waiting for the outcome and accept it".
