Saudi 360 – Sports commentator Fahd Al-Otaibi sent a letter of apology to Abdul Rahman Al-Sanabi, Al-Ahly’s goalkeeper, after his dramatic comment on the goal of Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic, Al-Hilal’s striker, in the El Clásico match, which ended with “Blue” winning 2-1, on Saturday night.

Since I started commenting until today, God bears witness, I have never intended to offend any club, player, stadium or spectator, and I fully admit that I was not successful in describing the second goal against Al-Sanby, and just as Al-Sanby, Al-Ahly’s goalkeeper, deserved all the praise, I also deserved this apology before you and all best wishes for his future career.
