José María Gutiérrez 'Guti' has backtracked on his comment mocking Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano . The former Torrejón midfielder made some very unfortunate statements about both Madrid teams at a Mahou event . Guti is a commentator for DAZN , so he works with LaLiga in certain aspects, and his words have not gone down well.
Guti 's joke: "I prefer a good concert to watching an Atlético de Madrid-Rayo Vallecan game" is his umpteenth blunder. Fans of both teams have complained, especially the red-and-whites, who have always been at odds with the controversial former Real Madrid player. Their past in derbies and a relationship of hatred that was on the verge of uniting them generates tensions.
On his Twitter account, the current sports commentator and regular on Josep Pedrerol 's " El Chiringuito de Jugones " has backtracked on his previous comments. Guti asked for forgiveness: "I want to apologize for some unfortunate statements I made about Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano ," the Madrid native commented on his private X account.
Guti rectifies: They are two big clubs
"They are two great clubs that have given all of us football fans great sporting moments," said Guti , who undoubtedly had to launch this message in response to complaints from fans of these teams to the platform itself. We'll have to see what Javier Tebas , who is such a defender of the duopoly and of people like José María Gutiérrez 'Guti' , thinks.
The reactions were not long in coming, with the fans of the club from Madrid not believing a word from the former Real Madrid player. There are many occasions when, whenever he can, Guti vents his anger on the red-and-white team. Atlético de Madrid could even have been his team, since Miguel Ángel Gil Marín reached an agreement with his agent at the time to sign him as a star.
His possible arrival at Atlético
Real Madrid did not count on him and intended to send him to Atletico Madrid in an operation involving Pablo Ibañez . The centre-back was leaving for the white club and the midfielder from Torrejón de Ardoz was joining the Colchoneros. " Madrid paid money and I was going to Atleti ; they didn't want me," he admitted.
He also admitted that if he had joined Atlético , he would never have kissed the club's crest. "It was a ridiculous situation for me; it would have ended badly with the fans of both teams, I wouldn't have been able to live in Madrid ," said Guti . At that time, he publicly mocked Roberto Carlos at a pre-season press conference with a "Go to Atleti yourself," which he said.
It's a long story, although Guti only remembers what interests him, like how he "won very often" at the Calderón , even scoring 0-4, he once said. Now he has to rectify in the face of the wave of comments and some absences, probably, that DAZN will have suffered due to its anti-rojiblanca verbosity. Derby week, Guti is a name that is always in the air.
