Striker Robin van Persie moved to clarify that he hasn't made any disrespectful comments about any Spanish or Chelsea players.
The Dutch striker is on national team duty and said that he hasn't given any interviews with any media outlets, which led to quotes being false attributed to him.
The 27-year-old said: "I'm on international duty at the moment but following several reports in the media I think it's important to clarify some recent comments attributed to me.
"These reports falsely suggest that I recently made negative comments about Spanish and Chelsea players, I would like to make it perfectly clear that I haven't done an interview with Sport 1 or any other outlet in recent weeks and I've certainly not been rude as the comments suggest.
"I respect my colleagues of Spain and Chelsea and look forward to playing against them for many years to come.
"I sincerely hope that all football fans worldwide don't take these misleading reports seriously.
"I wish you all a great summer!"
