Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain staged a boycott against Spanish broadcaster Movistar over a racist on-air comment aimed at Lamine Yamal ahead of their Champions League clash on Wednesday.
Racism provokes Movistar laughter
But ahead of the game, former Atletico Madrid assistant German Burgos, working as a pundit for Movistar made a comment about 16-year-old wonderkid Lamal that left both Barcelona and PSG furious.
As the Barcelona-born teenager, whose parents are from Morocco and Equitorial Guinea, was shown doing kick-ups on screen in the warm up, one of the pundits said “look at the quality, look at the touches”, to which Burgos replied, “if football doesn’t work out, he’ll end up at a traffic light”.
