The match between PSG and Istanbul was stopped around the 15th minute of the first half. The event came after Coltescu was accused of racism against a member of the Turkish team’s coaching staff.
The action was led by Demba Ba, a French-born Senegalese player from Istanbul.
The offense was allegedly directed against former Cameroonian player Pierre Webo, a member of Basaksehir’s coaching staff.
Demba Ba, who was on the bench, was seen on the broadcast calling the fourth official. “You never say ‘this white boy’, you say ‘this boy’. So listen to me, why when you mention a black boy do you say ‘this black boy’?” He asked.
Immediately, the athletes from both teams went to speak to the referee. Leonardo, PSG football director, also took the field.
In images released by Esporte Interativo, Neymar and Mbappé told the match judge that they would not play if the fourth official was on the pitch. After about 15 minutes of uncertainty, the athletes of both teams left the field.
