Malaga president Al-Thani replies to Barcelona's complaint
The Malaga president wanted to make clear he was replying to the Catalan press
He had previously published a controversial message on his Twitter account
Malaga president Abdullah Al-Thani has clarified his comments after Barcelona complained about he tweet he posted on Tuesday.
Barça reported him to Spain's Anti-Violence committee, among others, after he said the "Catalan scum would not get a whiff of La Liga" in a post on Twitter.
Al-Thani was replying to the furore generated by Malaga manager Michel's comments, with the suggestion being the Andalusian would not put up a fight against Real Madrid on the final game of the season if the title was still on the line.
However, Al-Thani explained on Thursday: "I'm referring to the press of that community who have said that Michel will win that game and deliver them LaLiga.
"It is unacceptable. We do not sell games and I demand an apology from the press."
MICHEl'S WORDS
Malaga boss Michel, a former Madrid player, had said he is "more of a Madridsta" than Jorge Valdano, whose Tenerife side contributed to Barça winning the league in 1993 by beating Los Blancos.
However, Michel had also said: "I would prefer if it was all over before the final weekend -- better to welcome the champions than to knock your old team -- but I am a professional.
"Whatever happens, things are not decided just in the last game. It is a championship with many games. But I will not be a protagonist that day. I believe it will all be decided before then."
