Antonio Luna and Sergi Enrich, both of Spanish side, SD Eibar, have apologised after a footage of them having sex together with a woman went viral on social media on Wednesday.
Luna, 25, returned back to the La Liga in 2015 after an unfruitful two years in the Premier League with Aston Villa. While Enrich, 26, joined Los Armeros same year from another Spanish side, Numancia.
The pair appeared to have intentionally recorded themselves being involved in a threesome with an unnamed woman, of which both insist was “consensual” in a joint statement.
The statement released by the pair reads:
“In light of the circulation on social media of a sexually explicit video in which we, the undersigned, appear, we want to state that the video shows a recording of a private act which took place between fully consenting adults, within the scope of the freedoms we all enjoy.
“We deeply regret that an indiscretion for which we are not responsible has led to these images being published without our knowledge or, far less, our consent.
“We likewise regret the potential damage [not only] to our image but in particular to that of our club, whose colours we represent, and that it could have offended our supporters and the city of Eibar in general.
“We are aware that professional footballers should set an example in every walk of life, especially to children; this being the reason we apologise if this incident has caused harm to anyone.
“Equally, we want to apologise for the damage the circulation of this video could cause to the third person involved in the video.
“We wish to stress that, as Eibar players, an exemplary club that represents a set of fans and a city equally exemplary, we stand by the values that have been shown to us since we arrived in Eibar. We hope this incident does not in any way harm the image of the club, nor that of our team-mates.”
Eibar have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign and are currently in eighth place in La Liga. They secured an impressive 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in their last outing.
