Jim Beglin APOLOGISES after broadcaster noted Angel di Maria's 'Latino temperament' after Argentine's sending off at Manchester City as Irishman says he 'wrongly used a racial stereotype' during CBS Sports' coverage

Jim Beglin has apologised after the broadcaster made a 'culturally insensitive remark' during CBS Sports' coverage of Manchester City's win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Beglin, 57, referenced Angel di Maria's 'Latino temperament' after the Argentine was dismissed for kicking out at City's Fernandinho during PSG's 2-0 loss in the Champions League semi-final second leg.

Soon after making the comment, ESPN reports that the Irishman said: 'When Di Maria was sent off, I described it by using the word Latino. For anybody that's taken offense, I do apologize - sincerely apologize.'

Former Liverpool full-back Beglin then took to Twitter after the game to issue a full statement over the remark, which he described as 'culturally insensitive'.
