Real Madrid midfielder Illarramendi apologises for Batman stunt

Real Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi has been forced to apologised for a 'Batman' stunt last week.

Illarramendi has apologised to his teammates and the club - who will fine the player according to the code of conduct - for running in front of a bull, dressed as Batman, during the Carnival celebrations in the Basque province of Azpeitia.

The midfielder was forced to apologise after a video of the incident popped up on social media.

"There is a disciplinary code like at any club so players avoid doing anything dangerous. It's the first time I've seen a player run with bulls. He has apologised and I don't think he'll do it again," said Real coach Ancelotti.

"I'm very happy with Illarra. He's improved a lot, he's gained more confidence and a bit of personality on the pitch."
