Bašakšehir soccer players refused to play because of a racist phrase that they said was told to his compatriot Ovidiu Hategan by the fourth official of the match, Sebastian Coltescu, a Romanian who worked next to the pitch.
He advised the match’s head coach on who should be shown a yellow card for a foul, and pronounced “black wing” (supposedly referring to the black footballer). The phrase was overheard by Pierre Webo, a black assistant coach in Bašakšehir, who was quick to blame the fourth official.
Webo soon saw a red card in front of him, and Senegal’s Demba Ba, representing the Istanbul team, stood up to defend him.
“When you point to a white player, you never say this white player. But when you aim at black, you emphasize the color of his skin, ”Demba Ba tried to say the phrase angrily to the referee many times.
The striker, who let his emotions take over on the bench, also received a red card.
Following massive outrage, footballers from both teams left the stadium unanimously protesting against racism.

It is not yet clear what decision UEFA will make on the future of the match. At the time of the match, the score was 0: 0.
Regarding qualification, this match was important only for the PSG team, who competed against Manchester United and Leipzig for the ticket to the next round.
Bašakšehir will definitely take last place in Group H.
