David Luiz has admitted he would forgive Sergio Aguerro for his two footed lunge during yesterday’s FA Cup semi-final, although he has also implored the Argentine striker to apologise for his actions.

Aguero scored the winning goal of yesterday’s game at Wembley, however his challenge, which went unpunished at the time, has marred his match winning performance.

Aguerro may yet face sanction as referee Chris Foy did not act at the time and so may retrospectively suggest Aguero be charged for the tackle.

Luiz spoke of his willingness to accept an apology from Aguero, but urged the Argentine to first make the admission of guilt.

"Many people say to me about this tackle. I didn't see it because it was in the back of me. I cannot speak about that. I felt it a little bit. Agüero is a great player and I think he needs to be honest with himself and say: 'I don't like to do bad tackles, I don't like to do that,'” Luiz said.

"I forgive everyone in my life. People are happy when Agüero is scoring goals, doing things in the game. Many people have said to me: 'Sorry this is not me and not good for the football.' Many kids see the game, watch the game and want to see good things and not bad things."

Asked if he would offer an apology should roles be reversed, the defender said:
"Of course, I would apologise to everyone. I want just to show people good things – football is beautiful when you play games like that. Both teams tried to win, both created opportunities and tried good things. Sometimes in the games people have five seconds, be angry and do things you don't like to do. I think that. I never saw Agüero do bad tackles on other players. I think it was five-second angry and I forgive him."
