Spanish outlet Movistar Plus+ says it will “stop working” with Germán Burgos following a derogatory comment he made about 16-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.

Spanish television channel Movistar Plus+ says it will “stop working” with pundit and former Atlético Madrid assistant coach Germán Burgos following a derogatory comment he made about 16-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal. Upon seeing images of Yamal juggling a football before Barcelona’s Champions League quarterfinal first-leg match against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, Burgos said: “If it doesn’t go well, he’ll end up at a traffic light.

I am a pro youth coach and in all the teams I have been at I have made sure to bring youngsters to train with the first team. “I apologize to anyone who was offended by my comment. My intention was not to disparage Lamine Yamal, quite the opposite. Football unites everything and everyone, that is why it is the best sport since it does not discriminate based on sex, race, religion, disability, age or sexual orientation. This is what I believe!” Movistar Plus+, too, had earlier issued an apology.
