Carles Puyol apologises for his part in Casillas gay tweet storm

Carles Puyol apologised for his reply on Twitter to Iker Casillas.

The legendary Real Madrid goalkeeper wrote a tweet saying he was ‘gay’, but later said that he was hacked and he had not written it.

Puyol replied saying ‘it’s time to tell them about us’. 

Then, after a backlash, he published another tweet apologising.

“I made a mistake,” wrote the Barcelona legend and former captain. “I apologise for a stupid joke which was not made with any bad intentions but was completely out of order. I understand why it was offensive. All my respect and support to the LGTBIQA+ community.”
