The victory of Borussia Dortmund's U19s in the Youth League against FC Sevilla has apparently again been overshadowed by racist incidents.
As the Ruhr Nachrichten report, Dortmund's Abdoulaye Kamara is said to have been denigrated with monkey noises and verbally insulted by Sevilla player Alejandro Vazquez in the 2-0 win.
Already in the first leg in Seville last week, Kamara is said to have become the target of racist hostilities.
“The same insults and monkey noises as last week.
A paramedic heard and confirmed it.
But the referee says he hasn't heard anything and it's testimony against testimony," said BVB coach Mike Tullberg, according to the report.
He accused the referee team of lack of support.
"I couldn't believe it, but a Uefa official actually started discussing with me what a monkey sounds like and what a monkey says," Tullberg said.
Dortmund had recently announced that they would leave the field in the event of another racist incident.
Tullberg offered that to his team during the half-time break, "but the boys said: No, coach - we'll give the sporty answer and we'll win the game," he told the newspaper.
BVB had previously lodged a complaint with the European Football Union (Uefa) about the incidents in Seville.
"Something like that cannot be tolerated," said Lars Ricken, director of the youth training center, of the SID news agency.
DER SPIEGEL has asked Uefa for a statement.
A response to the request is still pending.
