The match between PSG and Istanbul Ba Istanbulakșehir was stopped in the 14th minute after Colțescu identified Pierre Webo as “The black over there”. UEFA did not consider that the Romanian referee was pretending to be racist and, after investigation, he was not penalized.
The Fanatik Turks shared the news online: “UEFA, after its investigation into allegations of racism in the PSG – Bașakșehir match, decided that there was no racism in the match. No penalty was applied to the fourth official Sebastian Colțescu “, the Turks wrote on Twitter.
UEFA concluded that the Romanian assistant’s attitude was not considered “racist”. The use of that word was made with the intention of helping the head referee to identify a player from the Turkish team in the face-to-face conversation between the center referee and the fourth official. The forum understands that this is inappropriate behavior that the Romanian referee could have prevented “, Spaniards write from sport.es.
Sebastian Colțescu was accused of racism by the two teams
Stuff PSG – Basaksehir was interrupted in the 14th minute later triggering an incident with a racist tinge provoked by the declaration of a member of the referee squad.
Sebastian Colţescu was said to have targeted Pierre Webo offensively, from the Turks’ technical bench, then officially eliminated by Ovidiu Haţegan. However, in the audio recording that later appeared in the online environment, it does not seem that Sebastian Colţescu’s voice says “The black over there. That is not possible. The black“.

UEFA report, after the “Colțescu” scandal in the Parc des Princes
From the available video and audio evidence, it was established that Messrs. Colţescu and Şovre used the Romanian expressions “that black” and “that black”, which in English translate as “the black one”, to identify their second coach. Basaksehir, Mr. Webo.
According to the linguistic report, the Romanian expressions “that black” and “that black” do not have pejorative or negative connotations.
The most relevant English dictionaries explicitly state that the term “black” used as an adjective, as a result of the Romanian expressions mentioned above, is not offensive. Furthermore, the word “black” is widely used by anti-racist organizations and their millions of followers precisely to combat racism.
Thus, the expressions “that black” and “that black”, although they could be considered controversial in the context in which they were said and because of the similar phonetics between the Romanian word “negru” and the pejorative English term “black”, cannot be perceived as discriminatory or racist. Consequently, it does not constitute punishable conduct.
Finally, Mr Buruk’s observation cannot be considered discriminatory, as it is an opinion or suggestion to the substitute referee, as the terms used by him could be avoided in contexts such as UEFA competitions. Consequently, no disciplinary action will be taken against Mr. Buruk.
Based on the above, the designated ethics and discipline inspector considers that the investigation into possible racist or discriminatory behavior by Colţescu, Şovre and Buruk has been completed, without the need for disciplinary action for violating articles of UEFA law ” , shown in the report, according to ProSport.
