One Tottenham player has now apologised for what he did during Wednesday’s clash against Newcastle.
Spurs took on the Magpies in a friendly over in Melbourne, a decision Alan Shearer branded “madness” when speaking on BBC Match of the Day, with goals from James Maddison and Alexander Isak resulting in a 1-1 draw.
However, there was another incident in the match aside from the goals, which one Tottenham player has now felt the need to say “sorry” for…
Bryan Gil apologises to Tottenham fans
The clash in Melbourne ended with a penalty shootout, which Newcastle won.
Bryan Gil was the only player to miss his kick as Newcastle reigned supreme with a 5-4 win, which sadly prompted one supposed fan to tell the Spaniard “shut up you missed your shot” on Instagram.
In the comments section, the £21.6m man clearly saw the unsavoury comment, and proceeded to respond “sorry bro 😔” – clearly disappointed with himself.
Ultimately, this is quite embarrassing for the fan in question – does anybody really care about Gil missing his penalty in a meaningless friendly halfway across the planet?
After all, the 23-year-old endured a tough 2023/24 campaign with just two Premier League starts to his name, so the last thing he needs is to be mocked for missing his kick in the shootout.
Spain international looks set to leave Spurs
It seems as if Gil’s missed penalty might actually end up being the last thing he does in a Tottenham shirt.
A story from Vamos Mi Sevilla claims that the Spain international has asked Ange Postecoglou for a transfer this summer, due to his lack of playing time in the 2023/24 campaign.
Gil is not the only Spurs player seemingly heading for the exit door, as Giovani Lo Celso also looks set to depart this summer for the same reason.
Hopefully, the Tottenham No.11 – who Graham Roberts once called a “superstar” – can get his career back on track wherever he ends up, after a period of stagnation in N17.
