Cucurella denies calling Militao a 'f***ing monkey' Real Madrid He explained himself on social media

Marc Cucurella has denied calling Eder Militao a "f***ing monkey" during Getafe's match with Real Madrid on Saturday.

The Spaniard took to social media to address the controversy that was surrounding a conversation between the pair on the pitch.

"I want to make it clear that at no time did I insult or belittle Militao," Cucurella wrote.

"My words were 'cierra el p*** pico' (shut your f***ing mouth)."

Some people had mistaken the word "pico" (mouth) for the word "mico" (monkey).

"I apologise if anyone was offended by this," he continued.

"This is the only statement I have made and the only one I will make about it."
