PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir players WALK OFF during first half of their Champions League clash amid allegations of racism against Romanian fourth official as the match in Paris is suspended

The Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir descended into chaos on Tuesday night after both sets of players walked off amid allegations of racism by the fourth official, Sebastian Coltescu.

The match was suspended midway through the first half. 

According to reports Pierre Webo, Basaksehir’s assistant manager, was sent off and then accused the fourth official of racism.

The official reportedly said ‘n****’ when trying to identify Webo to the referee so he could show him a card. 

Footage from the incident shows former Chelsea and Newcastle striker Demba Ba leading the Turkish side’s protests before they left the pitch. 

Within minutes of the incident, Basaksehir’s Twitter feed posted a picture of UEFA’s ‘No To Racism’ campaign.
