At the end of the match at the Parc des Princes, Areola posed with two of his former teammates while they celebrated the victory, in a photograph that Choupo-Moting uploaded to his Instagram account. The post has received numerous negative comments from Real Madrid fans, which have prompted an explanation from the new goalkeeper of Real Madrid.
"Dear Real Madrid fans: I am very sad about some comments on a photo circulating on social media. I want all Madridistas to know that my heart is white since I joined this club and I cannot tolerate any doubt about my motivation, loyalty, and involvement for Real Madrid, our Madrid," he wrote.
"Yesterday's defeat has affected me just like it has affected everyone who is part of this great family. After the match, I had a reunion with my former teammates and friends, to whom I had not had time to say goodbye. That is why I reiterate my apologies to the Madridistas who have felt offended, it was not my intention and I hope that together we can achieve many successes. Hala Madrid!" he added with an image wearing the warm-up shirt of the Madrid team. EFE
