Players of Paris Saint Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir have reunited to honour their Champions League fixture which was called off on Tuesday due to alleged racism account.

The players of both teams walked off the pitch on Tuesday night after the fourth referee referred to the Turkish side's assistant coach Pierre Webo by the colour of his skin.

“Following an alleged incident involving the fourth official, the match was temporarily suspended,” UEFA released a statement after the incident.

“After consultation with both teams, it was agreed that the match would restart with a different fourth official.

“UEFA will thoroughly investigate the matter and further communication will be made in due course.”

Two banners carrying anti-racism messages were placed in the Auteuil tribune of the Parc des Princes stadium. The first one read 'Support to Mr Webo... Proud of the players... Against racism', with the second one saying 'Paris united against racism'.

UEFA had two banners of their own with both clubs' logos, reading 'No to racism', one in French and the other in English. Istanbul Basaksehir players came onto the pitch to warm up 45 minutes before kick-off and were soon joined by PSG.
