Eto`o makes red card apology
Real Mallorca striker Samuel Eto`o is to buy a number of free tickets to give away to fans in order to apologise for his recent dismissal in a La Liga match against Barcelona.
The sending off - for violent conduct after Eto`o lashed out at Barca midfielder Thiago Motta - reduced Eto`o`s side to nine men after just 30 minutes.
They had already had lost defender Alvaro Novo, and total capitulation followed, Mallorca losing 4-0 and being completely torn apart.
Now the Cameroonian will purchase 30,000 euros` worth as a way of saying sorry for his role in the crushing defeat, the dismissal having subsequently earned him a four-match ban.
"I regret what happened and fully deserved the ban," Eto`o said on Tuesday.
"As a way of making it up to the fans I will buy 30,000 euros of tickets so that they can watch Mallorca play at Son Moix."
Eto`o has a poor disciplinary record.
He also received a four-match ban at the start of this season after television pictures showed him headbutting Valencia forward Miguel Angel Angulo at the end of a league match.
