PSG striker Zlalan Ibrahimovic has climbed down after an amazing rant during defeat to Bordeaux.
The 33-year-old had branded the referee "s***" and said France doesn't deserve PSG, but had to back-track, claiming the comments were not directed towards the French people and that he hadn't meant them.
The Swedish striker, who scored twice in the 3-2 defeat, had reacted angrily to Diego Rolan's late goal, blasting the officials on his way to the dressing room.
"I played 15 years, I never seen a referee this s***," he shouted. "They don't even deserve PSG should be in this country."
"I wanted to say that my comments were directed neither towards France nor towards the French," Ibrahimovic said after the game.
"I was talking about football and nothing else. I lost the game, and I accept it but I do not agree when the referee does not follow the rules. This is not the first time that this happens.
"I was speaking at the height of my anger and everyone knows that at times like these you can say things you don't mean. I apologise if people have felt offended."
