Champions League: racism scandal at PSG – Basaksehir



[ad_1]

In Paris, both teams left after about a quarter of an hour and minutes of discussions when the score was 0-0. The guest’s assistant coach, former Cameroonian international Webo, saw the red card and the fourth official is said to have racially insulted him.

He was accused of using a racist formulation for blacks, the word “black.” This expression could be clearly heard in the empty Prinzenpark stadium during the television broadcast. As was also heard, the Romanian referee team is said to have tried to defend themselves by saying that the fourth official had used the Romanian word for black (negru).

Continuation of the game on Wednesday

Webo, Ba and others were later heard aloud pointing out that the referees had also not said “white” to identify a white player. Basaksehir tweeted the logo of the UEFA campaign “No to racism – Respect” after the incident. There were heated debates on the sidelines, including PSG stars Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. Once the guests had entered the booths, the PSG team of German coach Thomas Tuchel followed.

The game should now be rescheduled on Wednesday. As the French sports daily “L’Equipe” wrote on its website and UEFA subsequently confirmed, the match will start on Wednesday at 6.55pm. For some time it had been speculated that the match could continue on Tuesday night, but nothing came out. The Turks reportedly refused to return to the field and eventually left the stadium.

Leipzig shows ManUnited instead

As in the previous year, RB Leipzig qualified for the second round of the Champions League in a parallel match in this group. The preseason semi-finalists defeated Manchester United 3-2 (2-0) and edged the Briton in Group H, which is top-notch with PSG.

Angelino (2nd minute), Amadou Haidara (13th) and Justin Kluivert (69th) led coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team into the first knockout round. Bruno Fernandes (80./ penalty) and Paul Pogba (83.) met for the guests in the final phase. ÖFB legionnaire Marcel Sabitzer had started Leipzig’s first goal with a wonderful 40-meter pass and played it.

Sabitzer also put his feet in the game for the second goal. He took out Angelino, whose flank was caught by former Salzburg Haidara with a volley at the net. In the first leg, the Saxons had received a bitter 0: 5 in Manchester at the end of October. It was unclear from the final whistle if the Leipzigers’ final victory would be enough to win the group by abandonment at PSG – Basaksehir.
