The Croatian was one of those criticised for his performance at Liverpool
Ivan Rakitic was one of the players who spoke to the media after the 2-0 win over Getafe. The debacle at Anfield is still fresh in everyone's mind and Rakitic went to the Seville festival and was photographed there having a good time - some did not like it.
"I have no problem asking for forgiveness," said Rakitic. "I'm a father and husband and the family is the most important thing. I went to Sevilla to see my family. I'm very open and they asked me for a photo, but on the pitch I give 100 per cent and I want the best for the club.
On the visit of two Boixos Nois to his house, Rakitic said: "I don't understand how it reached the media. Two people came and there were no problems, and they told me that they wanted to give me a plaque of recognition."
