- Incident occurs after Basaksehir assistant Pierre Webo sent off
- Match to resume on Wednesday after all players walk off
Uefa has announced it has launched a “thorough investigation” after players from Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir left the pitch in the 23rd minute of their Champions League fixture in the French capital on Tuesday night following an incident of alleged racism by the fourth official, Sebastian Coltescu.
Play was immediately suspended and while an attempt was made to restart the game with a new fourth official it was ultimately abandoned after the visiting side refused to return to the pitch. Instead the remaining minutes of the match will resume from 5.55pm GMT on Wednesday.
