Former Premier League midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has hit back at his detractors in England, branding them “scumbags” while discussing his transition to playing football in Dubai.

​Jonjo Shelvey has launched a scathing attack on his critics in England after relocating to Dubai.

The former Newcastle and Liverpool midfielder expressed no regrets about leaving the Premier League behind, citing a toxic atmosphere created by certain fans and media.

Reflecting on the vitriol he faced during his career back home, Shelvey remarked: “The people in England, some of them are just scumbags.”

​The 34-year-old emphasized that his move was motivated by a desire for a fresh start away from the intense scrutiny of the British game.

Shelvey praised the lifestyle and respect he has found abroad, contrasting it sharply with his previous experiences.

Defending his decision to play in the Middle East, he added: “I’m out here enjoying my life, and they’re still there being bitter.”

Barcelona winger Raphinha issued a public apology for gesturing toward Atletico Madrid supporters following their European exit, though he remains under scrutiny for claiming the team was “robbed” by officials.

​Barcelona’s Raphinha has apologized for a heated exchange with Atletico Madrid fans following Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final.

Despite being sidelined by injury, the Brazilian was seen gesturing at supporters after the final whistle.

Addressing the incident on social media, he explained: “I apologize for my gesture, which does not correspond with my values or my character. It was an act committed in a tense moment.”

​The winger could still face UEFA sanctions following separate, scathing remarks regarding the officiating at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

Raphinha claimed Barcelona were “robbed” during the tie and heavily criticized the referee’s performance.

While he expressed regret for his interaction with the crowd, stating it was “in response to a fan who was disrespecting me,” his outbursts have added further controversy to Barcelona’s elimination.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone celebrated reaching the Champions League top four by dismissing Barcelona’s post-match grievances following their narrow aggregate exit.

Diego Simeone aimed a pointed jab at Barcelona after Atletico Madrid secured a 3-2 aggregate victory to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

Despite a 2-1 second-leg loss at the Estadi Olímpic, Simeone’s side progressed, later dismissing Barcelona’s complaints regarding officiating and pitch conditions.

He remarked: “You know how great it is to be in the Champions League semi-finals. They have no idea how good it feels.”

The Argentine tactician admitted his team struggled early against Barcelona’s relentless tempo before capitalizing on their fatigue.

Simeone noted the Catalan side lacked energy late in the game, eventually resorting to direct tactics.

Reflecting on the achievement and the atmosphere of the elite competition, he added: “Phew, to be among the top four in Europe,” highlighting the gap between the two Spanish rivals.
