Mikel Oyarzabal visits Getafe dressing room after Juan Iglesias partner accusations

Real Sociedad and Getafe went to battle on Wednesday night for a European spot at Anoeta, but it allegedly crossed the line. Gefafe full-back Juan Iglesias has accused Real Sociedad captain Mikel Oyarzabal of insulting his partner during the game, which resulted in a scuffle between the two.

Iglesias forced Jon Gorrotxategi’s decisive own goal in a 1-0 win, and celebrated by dedicating the goal to Maria Caamano, a 13-year-old girl who passed away from cancer this week with a shirt and the message ‘for your smile’. After the match, it was Iglesias who spoke to DAZN, but it was his comments about Oyarzabal that made headlines.

“I’m glad you asked me about that. The captain of their team (Oyarzabal), who we then go around holding up as an example, puts his hand over his mouth to insult my wife. He didn’t have the balls to say it to me. These are the values that they have here,” he continued, before saying “that’s for me know,” when pushed on what exactly he had said.

According to Cadena Cope, Oyarzabal denies doing any such thing. The captain of the Txuri-Urdin visited the Getafe dressing room with several teammates and Real Sociedad Sporting Director Erik Bretos, to clear up the incident and deny them again. His camp assert that it could have been a misunderstanding, but that Oyarzabal is shellshocked at what happened, and there is a certain malcontent with Iglesias for taking the incident into the public domain.
