Romania's association responds to a racism incident
After the racism allegations against the Romanian assistant referee Sebastian Coltescu, the Romanian Football Association (FRF) threatened with consequences, should the allegations prove to be true. "The Romanian Football Association emphatically distances itself from any action or declaration of a racist or xenophobic nature," it said in a statement.
- The events at the Champions League game Paris Saint-Germain against Basaksehir have been noted and are waiting for the UEFA test result.
- Both Istanbul and hosts PSG left the pitch on Tuesday evening because of an alleged racist slur by the fourth official Coltescu against Basaksehir's Cameroonian assistant coach Pierre Webo.
- After lengthy discussions in the catacombs, the game was finally canceled and should be continued on Wednesday evening with new referees.
