Gonzalo Higuain has apologised on social media for his sending off in AC Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Juventus.
The ex-Juve man was dismissed in the 83rd minute after picking up a second booking for dissent having been cautioned moments earlier for a foul on Medhi Benatia.
Team-mates, both current and former, moved to console the forward, who took a lengthy period of time to leave the field in his outrage.
The sending off compounded a miserable evening for the Argentina striker, who had previously missed the opportunity to level proceedings when his low penalty was saved by Wojciech Szczesny.
In an Instagram post shared on Monday morning Higuain said: “I want to apologise to everyone for my behaviour in yesterday's sending off - the team, society, fans who despite yesterday showed me their love all the time.
“We are people too and we have feelings but I am responsible and I hope it does not happen again.”
He added: “Some will understand it, others will not. I also apologise to all.”
Higuain joined Milan from the Bianconeri over the summer in a loan deal that will become permanent at the end of the season. Despite two successful seasons in Turin, the forward never truly recaptured the form that saw him score 36 in 35 league matches during his 2015-16 campaign with Napoli.
