Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni has offered his apologies for his behaviour during last weekend's 1-1 draw against Schalke 04.

The Italian forward left the stadium at half-time after being substituted, much to the annoyance of head coach Louis van Gaal.

The experienced attacker used his official website to apologise for his actions, publishing the following statement:

"After what happened on Saturday, November 7, during the match against Schalke, I’d like to reaffirm my apologies to my team-mates, to the club and to all the fans.

"My impulsive and wrong behaviour last Saturday has no record in my professional career. This kind of reaction was the consequence of four long months of inconveniences and misunderstandings with the present coach."

The Bayern Munich board opted to slap Toni with a substantial fine earlier this week for his behaviour.
