PSG stands by defender Nuno Mendes after racial abuse in new message

Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) Nuno Mendes faced a wave of racist and abusive messages on social media after a French league match.

The club swiftly denounced the harassment and expressed its complete support for the Portuguese left-back, who was targeted following PSG’s 3-1 victory over Brest on Saturday.

Mendes, who is black, posted a racist message he received on his Instagram account.

The incident occurred after Mendes fouled Ludovic Ajorque in the penalty area, allowing Romain Del Castillo to score and put Brest ahead during the game.

“Paris Saint-Germain doesn’t tolerate racism, antisemitism, or any other form of discrimination,” the club said.

“The racial insults directed at Nuno Mendes are totally unacceptable… We are working with the relevant authorities and associations to ensure those responsible are held accountable for their actions.”

Portuguese Football Federation president Fernando Gomes has expressed his solidarity.

“It is deplorable that in the 21st century we still have to deal with so many prejudices and racist attitudes,” Gomes said in a statement.
