The French soccer superstar led a crowd of soccer figures to condemn racism in a show of solidarity with the Cameroonian who was a victim on Tuesday.
Paris Saint-Germain stars Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe, along with African soccer icons Mutiu Adepoju and Roger Milla, have shown their support for Pierre Webo after he was allegedly racially abused during the Champions League clash of the Tuesday.
Istanbul Basaksehir’s assistant coach Webo was caught up in a furious exchange with the fourth official, Sebastian Coltescu, who had ordered the referee to send Webo off after he protested a call on the field.
The Turkish club accused the fourth official of racial abuse by identifying Basaksehir’s assistant to the match referee.
With the game now moved to Wednesday after both teams left the field, Mbappé and other prominent soccer figures took to social media to express their solidarity with Webo.

All forms of racism go against the values of Paris Saint-Germain, the club president, the staff and the players.

On racism, there have been problems with fans in general. But today it is terrible for a referee to be educated about racism. For! @uefacom @Champions League @ bfk2014 @ pierrewebo9_
