Barcelona Football Club defender, Gerard Pique, was supposed to appear in front of a judge last week for alleged civil disobedience and for disrespecting the police.
But he quickly took to his Twitter page that he was sorry for the act, claiming that he was widely misquoted and never meant to disobey civil laws.
The Spanish star was in the Port Olimpic area of Barcelona, Spain, after returning from international duty when his brother parked his car in a bus zone for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, the police officers attached to the area accused the duo of parking the car wrongly and obstructing taxis and other vehicles. Consequently, the officers fined Pique’s brother, Marc.
Pique reportedly got out of the car, confronted the police officers and lambasted them thoroughly.
He told them, “You envy me because I’m famous. You are fining me because you’re on commission, because you have no money and you need to make commission.
“I’m going to speak with your bosses and get you reprimanded. You think you are masters of the world because you wear that uniform… .
“Your father’s going to pay this fine; I’m not. You are a disgrace. Your profession makes me sick and the Guardia Urbana is a f****** disgrace.”
Pique then allegedly snatched the paper from his brother’s hands and flung it back at police, before the pair went inside the Casino Barcelona.
However, the football star apologised last Wednesday night for his manner, although he claimed that the press had exaggerated his comments.
“What I said has been exaggerated a lot, but in any case, I am sorry, I made a mistake and it will not happen again,” he tweeted in Spanish.
Despite his apology, he is almost certain to be fined by Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique, who has implemented a strict code of behaviour at the club since joining in the summer.
But his teammate, Jordi Alba, was quick to defend his colleague, saying, “The club has nothing to say. It would be bull*** if Barcelona punished Pique. Besides, he has already said sorry. We all make mistakes.”
