following victory over Getafe, Barcelona and their
players have apologised.
Barcelona have issued an apology after a number of their
players donned Halloween masks and outfits and burst into
Victor Rodriguez's post-match news conference at the Coliseum
Alfonso Perez.
Luis Enrique's side ran out 2-0 winners at Getafe on Saturday -
keeping pace with La Liga leaders Real Madrid - but his players
gained headlines for their post-match behaviour.
A number of Barca players got into the spirit of Halloween by
dressing up in an apparent bid to disrupt their coach's news
conference but instead ended up in Getafe's post-match media
briefing - much to midfielder Rodriguez's bemusement.
Ivan Rakitic was among those to share images of the events on
social media although Getafe midfielder Medhi Lacen was left
less than impressed.
Barca issued a statement on Sunday, apologising for their
players' actions, explaining: "In no case was it our intention to
offend and/or hurt any member of Getafe's team.
"Our emergence in the post-game interview area during Victor
Rodriguez's press conference was an unfortunate and
involuntary accident. We would like to personally apologise to
him, as well as to express our respect for him.
"The images recorded demonstrate that one of the players who
was participating said: 'Where are we going? We went the wrong
way.'
"The team is aware of the responsibility that comes with being a
player for FC Barcelona and would like to apologise to anyone
who may have been offended, especially Getafe's players and
supporters.
"We have an unwavering commitment as well to the members
and supporters of FC Barcelona, who have to be able to feel
proud of the team, both on and off the field."
