The president of the Istanbul BB club, Goksel Gumuşdag, declared this Thursday, upon his return to Istanbul after the clash with PSG in the Champions League, that he is requesting the referees’ lifetime ban after the incident whose protagonist was Sebastian Colţescu .

“December 8 is now a night in history as we fight against racism. December 8 will not only be a symbol for Basakashehir but also for world sport. I am proud to be the president of this team. Talks with the UEFA went very well, thank you UEFA.

Today I have prepared a letter for Aleksander Ceferin, we will send it tomorrow. We will thank you and at the same time ask if there are defenses of these referees in the Referees’ Disciplinary Committee and in the UEFA Disciplinary Committee. We have shown our attitude to the whole world. Now it is UEFA’s turn. In the case of these arbitrators, a lifetime ban should be imposed. That is what we are asking for.

Of course they started the defense, the investigation, but we are right to ask that and there is no reason to be upset, everyone should think, we have to think deeply. Such punishment must be imposed that no one in the world has the courage to do so. That is why December 8 is a night of endurance for all world sports, “said Gumuşdag, writes News.ro.

The match PSG-Istanbul BB, of the sixth, last stage, of Group H of the Champions League, refereed by the Romanians, was interrupted, on Tuesday, at minute 16, with 0-0. The Turks left the field after substitute referee Sebastian Colţescu used the word “black” to address a person from the Istanbul team staff.
