Racism - perhaps the biggest global problem of these days, faced even in the world of football.
Yesterday, in a friendly match, the hosts of the 2018 World Cup, the Russians, welcomed the players of the French national team. The visit to Saint Petersburg ended successfully for the guests - the French won with a score of 3-1, however, the match did not end without incidents.
The French radio reports that racist insults were heard from Russian fans during the match. They were directed at two footballers - Paul Pogba and Ousmane Dembele, who were often taking corner kicks.
"Europe 1" reports that P. Pogba especially had to endure the harsh actions of the Russian fans in the 73rd minute when he approached the corner flag and heard monkey-like sounds.
In Russia, the problem of racism is particularly big, so there are concerns that even bigger scandals may occur during the World Cup.
