Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League game with Istanbul Basaksehir was suspended on Tuesday and will be completed a day late after both sets of players walked off in protest amid allegations of racism by one of the match officials, in an unprecedented incident in European football's elite club competition, reports FRANCE 24.
The row erupted after Basaksehir assistant coach Pierre Webo, the former Cameroon international, was shown a red card during a fierce row on the touchline with staff from the Turkish club appearing to accuse the Romanian fourth official of using a racist term.
Television microphones picked up a furious Webo repeatedly asking why a racist term had been used to describe him.
That led to the game at the Parc des Princes -- which started at 9:00 pm local time (2000 GMT) - stopping in the 14th minute while still goalless, with the players walking off around 10 minutes later.
In a statement late on Tuesday UEFA promised to open a "thorough investigation" into the incidents and confirmed the match would restart at 1755 GMT on Wednesday from where it stopped.
