Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas says he is no saint but he did not direct any racist abuse toward Sevilla's Frederic Kanoute during a heated encounter on Saturday.
Kanoute and Fabregas were involved in an altercation which saw Kanoute sent off and Fabregas facing accusations he racially insulted the Mali striker.
While Fabregas immediately denied the reports on Twitter, on Wednesday the Spain international added: ''Like every other football player, I'm no saint, but I never said anything racist and no one is saying any different.''
Fabregas says he has already cleared the air with Kanoute.
