Barcelona great Eric Abidal has taken to Instagram to BEG his wife for forgiveness after it emerged he had been secretly seeing PSG Feminine star Kheira Hamraoui.
This relates to one of the most bonkers news stories of the year.
As the Daily Mail reports, PSG’s Kheira Hamraoui was dragged from her car and had her legs brutally beaten. Teammate Aminata Diallo was initially arrested in connection to the attack but was later released without charge.
