Breaking | PSG vs Istanbul Basaksehir suspended following alleged instance of racism on the part of the 4th official towards the Turkish side’s assistant manager.
Pierre Webo, former Cameroonian attacker, was the assistant coach & individual sent off & who is understood to have been the victim of racist language on the part of the 4th official. Demba Ba led his teammates to refuse to continue play.
Pierre Webo after being sent off to the 4th official: "Why did you say n*gro, why did you say n*gro?"
Demba Ba immediately after: "You never say: "This white guy." Why when you mention a black guy, you have to say this black guy."

One of the officials responds that it is a miscommunication relating to "Romanian language."
On review of the footage, Kylian Mbappé is one of the most vocal against the incident & encouraging his PSG colleagues to follow the Istanbul Basaksehir players off of the pitch.
Presnel Kimpembe picked up on RMC cameras: "WHAT? WHAT? Is he serious? We are heading in. We are heading in. That is it, we are heading in."
On review of the footage, the referee, Ovidiu Haţegan, appears to ask who he should give the red card to from the bench, with 4th official Sebastian Colţescu responding: "ala negru," which in Romanian can translate to "the black [guy]," provoking the incident that followed.
Kylian Mbappé to referee Ovidiu Haţegan about the 4th official: "We cannot play with this guy."
