“Sometimes the pressure and tension make us do things we shouldn’t do…” he wrote on Instagram.

“It’s only fair that I apologise to my teammates and Coach for my behaviour after my substitution.

“It’s obvious that people will always try to make a story, but lessons are there to be learnt from.

“No-one’s perfect, the important thing is to realise the mistake. Having said that, it’s thanks to our fans that we had this great game.”
