Lavezzi backs former PSG teammate Aurier

Ezequiel Lavezzi used social media to support Serge Aurier, who remains suspended by Paris Saint-Germain following inappropriate comments.

Former Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi leapt to the defense of suspended full-back Serge Aurier, saying "we all make mistakes."

Aurier landed himself in hot water after he appeared in an online video responding to questions from fans, in which he appeared to make controversial and lewd comments about PSG coach Laurent Blanc and teammates, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The 23-year-old Ivory Coast international, who apologized after being banned indefinitely, met with assistant director Olivier Letang and PSG human resources officials in Paris on Monday to discuss the matter as the club looks to hand down a punishment.
