“The upturn in racist abuse is worrying but at the same time it’s something that is good to be discussed so much, to ask ourselves the right questions,” Kompany told Sky Sports. Sterling also encountered racist abuse during England’s Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro in March, while there have been other cases in English soccer in recent months.
Three Chelsea fans were stopped from entering Slavia Prague’s stadium for Thursday’s Europa League game after a video of a racist chant about Liverpool’s Egypt international Mohamed Salah circulated on social media.“The issue is a little bit deeper. I look at boardrooms, I look at mechanisms of power... and I don’t see a lot of diversity in that,” the Belgian added.
