A foul, shouts, a red card – and then very angry officials and players at Basaksehir Istanbul. The charge: The fourth official is said to have made racist statements. The game against Paris Saint-Germain is canceled – but should be ended.

Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Thilo Kehrer – in the hours after the canceled Champions League game against Basaksehir from Istanbul, the football professionals from Paris Saint-Germain also showed solidarity on the Internet. “Discrimination has no place. Not in football, not in the world”, wrote national player Kehrer on Instagram, Neymar published a “BLACK LIVES MATTER” and Mbappé said: “Say no to Racism. M. Webo we are with you” (We are with you). After coach Thomas Tuchel’s team left the field like the opponents and sent a clear signal against racism, the Parisians showed their stance afterwards.
