Getafe's Gabi slams cold Real Madrid hardman Gravesen

Getafe midfielder Gabi has slammed Real Madrid hardman Thomas Gravesen after their clash on Sunday.

Getafe midfielder Gabi has slammed Real Madrid hardman Thomas Gravesen after their clash on Sunday.

Gabi is recovering from a knee injury which resulted from a tackle by Gravesen and revealed last night: "What happened during the game is part of football, but what I found ugly was Gravesen's attitude afterwards.

"When he passed me in the tunnel, he could see I was in tears. But he never asked me how I was, or wished me good luck. He didn't acknowledge me at all. For that reason, I find it pretty poor."

He added: "I don't know what he could have done. A pat on the back, some sort of gesture. Anything. But I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"In the evening, Emilio Butragueno (Real's vice-president) phoned me to see I how was. But I haven't heard anything from Gravesen."
