The Parisian club wanted to communicate after the stoppage and postponement of the match against Basaksehir following supposedly racist comments from the 4th referee towards a member of the Istanbul staff.

The Paris SG press release

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir this Tuesday evening on behalf of the 6th and final day of the group stage was interrupted after 13 minutes of play following racist remarks by the 4th referee towards a member from the staff of the Basaksehir club.

The match will be played again on Wednesday at 6:55 p.m.

It is an extra-sporting fact which put an end to this meeting after just 13 minutes of play. A complaint in the Turkish ranks following racist remarks emanating from the 4th referee, gave way to a lively exchange which brought together the 22 actors at the edges of the field.

Any form of racism goes against the values ​​conveyed by Paris Saint-Germain, its President, its staff and its players.

After 10 minutes of explanation, the referee invited the two teams to return to their respective locker rooms.

An hour and a half after the interruption, UEFA has finally decided to officially end the match, which will therefore be replayed on Wednesday at 6:55 p.m.

For more than 15 years, Paris Saint-Germain has made the fight against all forms of discrimination a permanent fight.

The club in the capital is today one of the sports clubs most committed to the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination.
