France’s Coman, Tchouameni racially abused after World Cup final defeat
(MNP) – France forward Kingsley Coman and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni have been subjected to online racist abuse after missing their penalties in Sunday s World Cup final against Argentina, the BBC reported on Monday.
Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez saved Coman s effort from the spot and Tchouameni fired wide as Argentina captured their first world title since 1986, and third overall.
Coman s club Bayern Munich have posted a message of support for the 26-year-old, condemning the racist comments made towards him.
“The FC Bayern family is behind you, King. Racism has no place in sport or our society,” they said on Twitter.
