- Istanbul Basaksehir players retired to the dressing room in the match against Paris St Germain.
- The fourth official is said to have racially insulted a supervisor of the Turks.
- The game was canceled after lengthy discussions and, according to UEFA, was postponed to Wednesday.
- An investigation was also launched.
The players of both teams left the field of play to protest against an alleged racist desertion by the 4th referee. The Romanian is said to have insulted a member of the Turkish team with “Black”. When the Turkish assistant coach, Cameroonian Pierre Webo, was shown a red card for excessive complaints, the situation escalated completely.
For around 10 minutes, the players from both teams debated with the referees, club officials and UEFA delegates. Then they left the grass. The Parisians later returned to resume play. But Basaksehir stayed in the catacombs.
New referees on Wednesday
