Barcelona winger Raphinha has apologised for his strop during their 2-2 draw with Europa League opponents Manchester United.

Raphinha scored in the playoff first-leg, but was upset being substituted.

He said, "I have already spoken to the coach after the match. I took the opportunity to apologise to everyone.

"I apologise to the coach, Ferran Torres, who had to come in instead of me, to the team and the supporters, but there are times when you really have to be on the pitch and help the team win.

"We are human and we all have moments when we cannot control everything.

"I know I made a mistake and I'm here to apologise to everyone and it won't happen again."
