Scandal in France: Champions League match halted due to racist referee's expression © „Reuters“

On Tuesday, the UEFA Champions League reigns in European stadiums, though in Paris, where the local teams "Saint-Germain" and "Basaksehir" meet, the match was suspended. In the 14th minute, the reserve match official instructed the field referee to remove Demba Ba from the bench, but did so without avoiding conflicting phrases. According to various sources, the Romanian referee instructed to show a red card to "that black man" and this caused a huge anger among the "Basaksehir" players. Discussions on the side of the field lasted almost 10 minutes until the guests finally decided to leave the field. PSG players showed solidarity with them and the match was suspended.
