Man City winger Torres apologises for comments about Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski

Manchester City winger Ferran Torres has apologised for comments about Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Torres said his side's defenders would "eat" prolific scorer Lewandowski in the Euro 2020 match between the two nations, which ended 1-1.

Asked about the Bayern Munich striker, Torres had said ahead of the clash: “No, he does not worry us. Our central defenders will eat Lewandowski."

And despite the confidence-induced comments he did add the star is someone he looks up to, saying: "He has been a benchmark in terms of work, consistency and about knowing what you want.“

Torres has issued a public apology for the remarks, stating: "I respect Lewandowski and all the forwards very much. He is a reference for me. If I offended someone I want to apologise."
