Barcelona coach Xavi clears up his comments on Dani Alves case
The Barça boss started his press conference with an apology
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez started his post-Getafe press conference with an apology for comments he made on Saturday.
Xavi said he "felt bad" for Dani Alves after the former Barça defender was held in custody without bail for alleged sexual assault.
"I think my words were misinterpreted," Xavi said. "I didn't explain myself well. We have to condemn any acts of violence. I apologise. I was not clear.
"I feel bad that Dani's has been able to do something like that. I am surprised. All my support to the victim. I am sorry. I know my voice is important and I feel bad about the misunderstanding."
Xavi offered his comments voluntarily before taking questions after his side's 1-0 win over Getafe in LaLiga.
