Paris St-Germain’s game against Istanbul Basaksehir will resume on Wednesday after it was abandoned on Tuesday with a match official accused of using a racist term towards one of the away side’s backroom staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul allege fourth official Sebastian Coltescu used the language towards their assistant coach Pierre Webo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Cameroon international Webo was shown a red card in an exchange on the touchline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul players walked off the pitch in protest, with PSG players following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened just 14 minutes into the Champions League Group H tie, which was still goalless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match will recommence on Wednesday from the 14th minute, with a new set of officials. Kick-off will be at 17:55 GMT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSG are already through to the last 16 after Manchester United’s defeat by RB Leipzig<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Uefa said: “Uefa has – after discussion with both clubs – decided on an exceptional basis to have the remaining minutes of the match played tomorrow with a new team of match officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A thorough investigation on the incident that took place will be opened immediately.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul forward Demba Ba, who was a substitute, could be seen on the touchline asking the official: “Why, when you mention a black guy, do you have to say this black guy?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TV footage also showed PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe saying: “Is he serious? We are heading in. We’re heading in. That’s it, we’re heading in.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There followed a wait of around two hours before official confirmation the game would not be finished on Tuesday. During that period, PSG players could be seen warming up in the tunnel awaiting a resumption, but their opponents did not re-emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSG forward Kylian Mbappe later tweeted<\/a>: “Say no to racism. Webo we are with you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, said he believed Uefa would “take the necessary steps”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are unconditionally against racism and discrimination in sports and in all areas of life,” he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
