I reacted to an opponent in a wrong way and something occurred accidentally and not intentionally”, Thuram tweeted. “I apologize to everyone, to Stefan Posch, to my opponents, to my teammates, to my family and to all those who saw my reaction.”
Borussia’s star noted that he is ready to deal with the consequences of his gesture.
