Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto personally apologised to Andreas Pereira

Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto sought out Andreas Pereira during victory at Valencia.

Marca says with Roberto's dangerous tackle on Pereira still fresh on their minds, the Spaniard took the opportunity to personally apologise to his Los Che counterpart.

During the January Copa del Rey clash between the teams, Roberto left his mark on Pereira with a high challenge that put the Manchester United loanee on the sidelines for two months. The Barcelona man had since been criticised for his handling, or lack of, of the incident.

Following this weekend's 2-1 win for the Blaugrana, Roberto approached the midfielder at the final whistle and apologised for the tackle, discussing it and Pereira's recovery as they headed down the tunnel.

In turn, the Belgian youngster thanked him and they parted on good terms.
