The settlement between PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir FK has been stopped for the time being after the fourth referee allegedly made a racist comment against the Turkish bench.
The case is being updated.
Fredrik Gulbrandsen played from the start for the Turkish club, but after 14 minutes the situation arose that created chaos at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
Assistant coach Pierre Webo is said to have been subjected to a racist comment from the fourth official after he was shown off the bench for Basaksehir.
– I did not hear it myself, but he says he said it, said Fredrik Gulbrandsen to PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
The TV pictures from the match, with very good sound as there are of course no spectators present, leaves no doubt about what Webo thinks he was exposed to.
– Why did you say «negro», why did you say «negro», Webo repeated several times to quarterback Sebastian Colţescu from Romania.
Substitute Demba Ba also reacted violently to the fourth official, confronting him with what had allegedly been said against Webo.

It was in the 13th minute that Gulbrandsen was fouled by PSG’s Presnel Kimpembe, and it created violent reactions from the Turkish bench.
In the riots that ensued afterwards, the referee handed out a red card to Webo.
– We do not accept you, we do not want you. You are a racist, we do not want you, said Istanbul Basaksehir coach Okan Buruk to the fourth official.
Istanbul Basaksehir’s players now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After a few minutes, they left the field and strolled in the locker room. The club allegedly refuses to send the players out on the field again before the fourth official is removed.
It is not yet clear if, or when, the match will start again.
PS! Webo is 38 years old, and has played 58 international matches for Cameroon. The former striker has played for Mallorca, Fenerbahçe and Istanbul Basaksehir, among others.
