The Uruguay international had been asked in June by the host of the Canal 10 show for a Spurs player's shirt, to which he replied: "Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too as they all look the same." British anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out said it had received a "significant number" of complaints related to the comment. Bentancur apologised to the South Korean and Spurs skipper, who said his teammate had "made a mistake."
