Barcelona winger Raphinha has apologised for yesterday's red card during their 0-0 draw at Getafe.

The Brazilian winger was shown a straight red after 42 minutes for a nasty elbow.

Raphinha posted to social media this morning: "I would like to apologise to my teammates, the staff, the fans and everyone who follows me here on Instagram.

"It was wrong, and it could have cost the team even more.

"It was not the way I wanted to start the season. I am aware and responsible for what happened last night.

"You learn from mistakes, and I will definitely learn from my mistakes, among other things"
