Albacete striker Roman Zozulya has apologised after causing controversy yet again by using a homophobic slur in an interview.
In December 2019, a Spanish Second Division match between Albacete and Rayo Vallecano was suspended at half-time after Rayo fans had chanted “p*ta Nazi” – “f*ckng Nazi” – at Zozulya.
The forward had spent time on loan at Rayo in the past but never appeared for the club after protests from their fanbase over the forward's alleged links to a far-right organisation.

Zozulya recently started in a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano on February 29, again drawing ire from fans of his former side with the forward saying he was called a Nazi, a racist and a communist.
