The CBF reinforces its position in the fight against racism and repudiates any manifestation of prejudice.“
Lamentavelmente, após ação, uma banana foi atirada no gramado em direção a Richarlison, autor do segundo gol brasileiro. A CBF reinforces our position to combat racism and repudiates that manifestação preconceituosa. https://t.co/H9qpRCpyab

The players of the Auriverde selection had also presented themselves on the lawn of the usual Paris Saint-Germain stadium with a jersey devoid of the five stars (symbolizing their world titles). A poster with the slogan “without our black players, we wouldn’t have stars on our shirts“had been deployed in front of the eleven holders.
