Barcelona chief Vilarrubi: Real Madrid's Pepe has no regrets

Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubi has dismissed Real Madrid defender Pepe's apology for an apparent stamp on Lionel Messi.

Pepe insists the incident was "unintentional", but said sorry for it on Thursday.

"Pepe tried to make a rectification that does not exist," Villarrubi told RAC1. "He did not say that he made a mistake, only that he did not wish to do it.

"No-one believes that."

@ anonymous, *****.c.k. you, your mother, and sister(s). Messi is the last player to dive. He never dives. If you want to talk about dives, I guess you did not see ugly pepe dive to the ground when Pique went for the header, to get Pique a unfair yellow card. What about pepe diving like he got shot and staying down for 5 minutes pretending that he got hit in the face when Cescs hand was a meter away from his face. Talk about diving right? Madrid fans should be the last ones talking about diving, because their team are made of divers, you can't get any better than gaynaldo, dive maria, marchelo, and now ugly pepe.

well if the midget wouldnt keep falling on the ground and crying all the time it wouldnt happen...time to change the dive and cry tatics of bitcha its getting old...

He will be a good addition to d team.He is very similar to Okocha and Maradona.I hope he blossoms at Celtic.
