JAKARTA - Carles Puyol apologized after commenting on Iker Casillas' recent tweet. Puyol said he did not mean to harass LGBTQs.
As previously reported, Casillas shocked social media because he claimed to be a same-sex lover. "I hope you respect me: I'm gay," Casillas tweeted on his Twitter account.
Puyol responded to the post which made the situation exciting. Puyol commented, this is the right time to reveal their relationship.
"The time has come to tell our story, Iker," Puyol replied to Casillas accompanied by a heart emoji.
The reply between Casillas and Puyol immediately became a hot topic of conversation for football fans. Not a few who accuse the two of them so far have had a forbidden relationship.
Moreover, Casillas and Puyol knew each other and their teammates while defending the Spanish national team, even though apart from that the two were rivals in El Clasico.
After admitting to being a same-sex fan, Casillas' tweet disappeared. The 41-year-old man later clarified that his Twitter account had been hacked before.
"The account was hacked. Luckily everything is fine. Sorry for the followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community," Casillas tweeted.
Not wanting to lose to Casillas, Puyol, who previously commented with the intention of joking, also appeared with a new tweet. Puyol apologized and dismissed the issue that he had a special relationship with his compatriots.
"I made a mistake. Sorry for the awkward joke without bad intentions and completely out of the way," Puyol tweeted.
"I understand that it may have hurt sensitivity. All my respect and support for the LGBTQIA+ community," he stressed.
Me he equivocado. Perdón por una broma torpe sin ninguna mala intención y absolutamente fuera de lugar. Entiendo que puede haber herido sensibilidades. Todo mi respeto y apoyo a la comunidad LGTBIQA+
