Ahead of tonight's semifinal against Barcelona, Inaki insisted: "You have to be a little more careful. Maybe the word I used was not appropriate, but it is true that it is still a chore for everyone, especially for our fans.
"I can make mistakes many times, because I try to be honest, but it is true that the words were not appropriate, but tomorrow it will be like playing away from home because we don't have many fans here."
The striker also revealed: "The coach (Ernesto Valverde) spoke to me and told me that he was going to try to make light of the matter and that was the case. Maybe the words were not appropriate, but I don't regret it."
