Sparta demand apology from Slavia player

Sparta Prague football club have demanded an apology from Marek Suchý, a player with their arch rivals Slavia Prague who held up a scarf with the slogan ‘Death to Sparta’ in front of Slavia’s hardcore fans after a Europa League game earlier this month. Suchý, who is 21, made the gesture following his last match for Slavia before joining Spartak Moscow on loan for one year. The defender told Czech Radio that the gesture had been made in a moment of high emotion, saying he was sorry if it had caused offence.
