In recent news, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has launched an investigation into allegations of racism against Lille OSC manager Christophe Galtier and his son. The allegations arose after a video surfaced of Galtier’s son, who is also a coach for Lille, making derogatory comments about PSG players.
The video, which was posted on social media, shows Galtier’s son making racist comments about PSG players. In the video, Galtier’s son can be heard saying “PSG players are all black and they don’t know how to play football”. The comments sparked outrage among PSG fans and the French football community, leading to the club launching an investigation into the matter.
PSG has since released a statement condemning the comments and expressing their commitment to fighting racism in football. The statement reads: “Paris Saint-Germain strongly condemns the comments made by Christophe Galtier’s son. We are committed to fighting racism in football and will not tolerate such behaviour.”
The French Football Federation (FFF) has also condemned the comments and has stated that they will take appropriate action if the allegations are found to be true. The FFF released a statement saying: “The FFF strongly condemns the comments made by Christophe Galtier’s son. We take this matter very seriously and will take appropriate action if the allegations are found to be true.”
At this time, it is unclear what action will be taken against Galtier and his son if the allegations are found to be true. However, it is clear that racism in football is an issue that needs to be addressed and that those responsible should be held accountable for their actions.
It remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved, but it is clear that racism in football must not be tolerated. It is encouraging to see PSG and the FFF taking a stand against racism and taking appropriate action if the allegations are found to be true.
