New Video Shows Barcelona Defender Martinez Spat At Inter Milan’s Acerbi
In one confrontation, Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez looked to have spat at Inter’s Francesco Acerbi.
The two veteran defenders are both no strangers to the dark arts.
And it had appeared that Martinez had finally had enough of Acerbi, and spat at the 37-year-old.
After the match, the former Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad defender did admit that he had spit.
However, Martinez had claimed that he did not intend to spit at Acerbi.
However, according to FCIN1908, video in fact shows that there was clearly a deliberate action by the 33-year-old.
When sh*t like this happens, they should say you were gonna get (this much) of a ban BUT because not only are you disgusting you lied about it and continued to lie you ban is doubled.
Scumbags like this are bad for the game, kids need better role models
