Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul apologises to fans for Copa shocker

Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez has apologised to supporters after their Copa del Rey shock suffered at Cornella.

Atletico were bundled out of the competition losing 1-0 to the lower league outfit.

Afterwards, Saul said: "On these fields any detail is very important.

"(Jose) Giménez is injured, we move the markers and right there, they score us a goal. Well, congratulations to the rival.

"The thing about Ricard is a shame, because he wants to show himself and he was working well.

"I apologise to the fans, we are the main culprits. That the Copa is a single game makes it more beautiful and special."
