Bareiro's apology: ‘Sorry to my team-mates and the fans’ | OneFootball

Adam Bareiro faced the music after Boca’s defeat to Cruzeiro and used his social media to apologize for the sending-off that put the team in a difficult position. The Paraguayan forward, who was shown a red card at the end of the first half after two highly controversial bookings, made a heartfelt Instagram post in which he took responsibility for the situation.

“I can only apologize to my teammates and the Boca fans. Whether they were refereeing mistakes or not, it’s on me to control what I do,” the forward wrote. Bareiro, who had been one of Claudio Úbeda’s regular starters with six goals in 13 matches, did not hide his frustration: “Today I surely messed up and now I have to swallow shit, but I’m going to work on my mistakes”.

The Paraguayan’s absence proved decisive for Xeneize, who had to play the entire second half with ten men in Belo Horizonte and ended up losing their 14-match unbeaten run at the very end of the game. Despite the squad’s anger with Esteban Ostojich’s refereeing, the player chose to focus his self-criticism on his own behavior.
