Iago Herrerin explains scuffle with young fan: I put up with a lot and I snapped Athletic Approached supporter in street

Iago Herrerin was involved in an altercation on the streets of Bilbao following Athletic Club's 1-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.

The goalkeeper approached a young fan after receiving abuse and the situation almost got violent.

"The truth is that barely anything happened," Herrerin said in a message to a fan on social media.

"I was outside asking for a taxi and it's not the most amazing thing to hear insults, disdain etc.

"As you will understand, I put up with a lot and yesterday I snapped.

"Maybe I didn't have to do take any notice, logically, but it's day in day out with insults.

"You have to think a bit about everything. I'm only asking for respect.

"I think that you should have respect everywhere you go and I didn't disrespect anyone.

"It's tough when people who don't know you insult you all day.

"Have a bit of understanding."
