The Champions League tie between PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir was temporarily suspended following an alleged instance of racist abuse

The players of both PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir left the field after the Istanbul assistant manager Pierre Webó was reportedly racially abused by a UEFA official.

The game is set to restart without the fourth official.

The fourth official is seen giving Webó a red card, and then Webó is seen to be very annoyed by something the official has said.

Further video shows Demba Ba confronting the official after the red card.

Ba is heard saying: “You never say ‘this white guy’, you say ‘this guy.’ So… why when you mention a black guy, you have to say ‘this black guy’?”
