"I got a call from Iniesta and we accept Barça's apologies", the Getafe midfielder said.

Pedro León revealed that Barcelona captain Andrés Iniesta personally phoned him to apologise for the actions of five of his teammates, who burst into the Coliseum press room wearing Halloween costumes while Víctor Rodríguez was talking to reporters.

The Getafe skipper sought to put a lid on the story. "First off, we do feel it was a lack of respect. That's the way we saw it in the dressing room. We'd never do something like that. But apart from the statement [that Barcelona released apologising for the events] I got a call from Andrés and as far as we're concerned that's the end of the matter. We accept their apologies".

"Andrés told me that the players didn't mean to interrupt Víctor because they didn't know they were going into a press conference as they were looking for the mixed zone. We accept their apologies and that's the last we'll say about it", León went on.

Asked whether Barça would have pulled a similar stunt if they'd lost the game rather than winning 2-0, the 28-year-old said, "I don't know. All I know is what we would and wouldn't do". León signed off by insisting that he and his teammates will be letting bygones be bygones: "Like I said in the conversation with Andrés, we accept their apologies and all is forgiven".
