The scandal that broke out in the duel of Champions League between PSG and Basaksehir continues to talk. After the racist expressions of the referee Sebastian Coltescu, the players of both teams set the example in the fight against discrimination by forcing the match to be suspended. In this sense, Pierre Webó, a field assistant for the Turkish team, told how he lived the hours after the event.
These two or three days were the most difficult of my career. I don’t want people to focus on me, it would be a shame if they remember me for this. I’m ashamed to be honest, “said the Cameroonian in an interview with the BBC. «It was a hard day, very hard. It is very stressful, I saw the doctor to give me some sleeping pills, “added the former Mallorca.
«Can you imagine if you have two, three, four games like that, stopping games for this kind of thing? I think (UEFA) will move, ”Webó commented. In addition, he added that “it is not the referee who is going to stop him, it is the players. I think the most important thing is the solidarity of the players. What a message we send to the world!
Despite the satisfaction for the unity of the players in the fight against racism, Basaksehir is asking for greater sanctions in the face of these events. In fact, the Turkish club’s leadership submitted a request to UEFA to sanction the referee for life. In this way, an exemplary measure is sought so that a similar situation is not repeated with the judges of the match.
What will happen to the referee?
Sebastian Costelcu is in a compromised situation after his embarrassing expressions in the middle of the Champions League match. The Romanian was temporarily removed from UEFA competition while the disciplinary committee decides the final sanction against the referee. At the moment, there is talk of a 10-date sanction, which is stipulated by the anti-racism protocol of the European confederation.
