Players of Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir walked off the pitch during the first half of their Champions League game after a match official allegedly made a racist remark about a member of the Turkish club’s coaching staff.
The Romanian fourth official Sebastian Coltescu was identifying Basaksehir assistant Pierre Webo, the former Cameroon striker, to the referee when the alleged comment was made. Webo reacted angrily, shouting at Coltescu: “Why did you say negro?”
Well done to all involved. This is the only way things will change.
