Champions League 2020/21 | Group H

What a shame in Paris. 4th ref said “the black guy” when indicating to the ref who should be booked on Istanbul’s bench. Istanbul Basaksehir walks off the pitch for racism. “Why you call him black man?!”, Istanbul players are literally furious. #UCL #PSGIBFK

They ask why? If he's the only black guy on the bench that's really the most efficient way of pointing him out lmao

Who?

Istanbul Basaksehir will not resume play if the 4th official being accused of racism is substituted by someone in the VAR truck, as he will still be involved in officiating the game. UEFA's problem is that they need at least 2 officials in the VAR truck & don't have another.

BREAKING: THE diallogue between the refs in full: 'The black one over there. Go and check who he is. The black one over there, it's not poasible to act like that' #PSGBAS pic.twitter.com/5ZUQfcEIkG

Simply put, referring to someone as "black guy" is not okay in a professional setting. Imagine doing that on your office. Or even on the streets or any public place. Efficiency is not an excuse for this. Ridiculously tone deaf from the official.
