Hamraoui Affair: Eric Abidal apologizes to wife on Instagram

Silent since the news broke out about his extra-marital affair, the former French international finally spoke a few minutes ago through a message posted on Instagram

Eric Abidal posted an apology to his wife on Instagram after reports that he cheated on her with former Barcelona player, Kheira Hamraoui who was physically attacked recently.

The former Barcelona sports director confessed he had an adulterous relationship with the 31-year-old player during her stay in Catalonia between 2018 and 2021.

Éric Abidal on Instagram:

“Hayeta Abidal forgive me. No matter what your decision is, you will remain in my eyes the woman of my life and especially the mother of our wonderful children. I deserve this humiliation even if it kills me alive. I pray to God one day you forgive me.”

Hayet Abidal, who has already filed for divorce is still on investigation after it was reported that one of the suspects while attacking Kheira Hamraoui said “So, you sleep with married men”, a sentence which thus encouraged the investigators to explore the hypothesis of a settling of score linked to Eric Abidal.

As a reminder, in this case, Aminata Diallo, 26-year-old PSG midfielder, was the first person placed in police custody and saw her name mentioned in many media around the world, suspected of having sponsored the attack against a background of sporting rivalry. However, 48 hours later she was released and definitively exonerated, without the information being relayed as much as the first. An unfair and shocking situation that she will try to overcome definitively by returning to football, after returning to training on Tuesday, November 23.
