Wesley Fofana denounces racist insults following Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Burnley at Stamford Bridge. Sent off in the second half, Fofana shared hateful messages he received after the match on Instagram. The French international mentioned one particularly shocking message: "F***ing stupid monkey. You should be put in a zoo after that red card." The 25-year-old defender criticized the inaction of the authorities: "In 2026, it's still the same thing, nothing changes. These people are never punished." Hannibal Mejbri, who started for Burnley, also faced racist slurs and posted them on his social media. His club supports him with a statement. These incidents remind us of the Prestianni-Vinicius case in the Champions League, highlighting a persistent issue in football.
