Gomez slams Man City teammate Palmer for U21 Euros antics

Manchester City fullback Sergio Gomez slammed the celebrations of teammate Cole Palmer during yesterday's U21 Euros final.

England beat Spain, with Palmer scoring from a free-kick he won against Gomez.

"It surprised me," Gomez told Cadena Ser of Palmer's attitude. "He didn't want to apologise or anything like some of his other teammates. I don't know, I would have celebrated it in a different way and my teammates would have done it in a different way as well.

"They [England] have the attitude they want to have. This is not the first time something like this has happened with this team. We have tried to represent our country in the best possible way and have the utmost respect for all our rivals. They wanted to celebrate it like this and also after the missed penalty."

He also told other reporters: I don't know if we will talk about it or if he will tell me something. I am not going to tell him anything, I have congratulated him, as it has to be done. If you want to say something to me or apologize, ask me, but the truth is that it has not been a good attitude.

Cole Palmer's celebrations sparked a brawl between England and Spain players.

"There has been nothing, he has wanted to celebrate it like this and he is done. Each one celebrates it as they want and we already know how the English are.

In the end they are the ones who make those provocations. He has wanted to celebrate it like this, there has been a bit of a racket. I said in the middle of the half that we should forget about it, that we would play our game and in the second half we played better than in the first. We had the chance of a penalty and it couldn't be scored, a shame".
