PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir: Players walk off the pitch after alleged racism by match official in UCL
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 directed a racist remark towards a member of the Turkish club’s coaching staff.
Basaksehir assistant Pierre Webo, the former Cameroon striker, was being identified by an official on the sideline when the comment was made, and staff and players alike reacted angrily on the touchline at the Parc des Princes..
Basaksehir’s substitute forward Demba Ba was heard saying to an official: “You never this say ‘this white guy’, you say ‘this guy’, so why when you mention… listen to me… so why when you mention a black guy [do] you have to say ‘this black guy’?”
The Basaksehir players walked away down the tunnel and their opponents followed. There is not yet confirmation over whether the game, which was 0-0, will resume.
