Paris Saint-Germain full-back Serge Aurier has issued an apology to referee Bjorn Kuipers after an outburst following their UEFA Champions League clash with Chelsea.

Aurier posted a video on his Twitter account after the Ligue 1 side progressed thanks to a 2-2 second-leg draw - criticising the Dutch official for his performance, which saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off for a tackle on Oscar.

With a UEFA investigation already underway way into his comments, the 22-year-old, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has apologised for his actions.

"I ask forgiveness to Mr Kuipers, his assistants as well as all officials for my reaction after the game with Chelsea," he posted on Twitter.

"My team-mates and I are fighting to reinforce the image of Paris and France in European football. This is obviously not this negative image I want to give out.

"My passion for football and my frustration at being injured for such a match resulted in my reaction, which should not have happened.

"The work of the referees is not easy I am sincerely sorry."

Aurier will learn the outcome of UEFA's investigation on Thursday.
