Benfica´s Brazilian midfielder Beto has apologised to Mohamed Sissoko for the flying boot which put the Liverpool star in a Lisbon hospital overnight following the clubs´ Champions League clash.The Mali international was carried off after just 35 minutes when Beto´s high tackle smashed into his eye.Beto said: "My boot caught Sissoko in the face and it opened a big wound around the eye. I want to apologise - I did not mean to injure him. It was just a typical 50-50 midfield situation that happens all the time; you have to contest everything."
