A couple of days ago, a video of some Chelsea fans racially abusing Liverpool’s Mo Salah went viral and it has added more fuel to the fire before the Blues visit Anfield this weekend.
Some Chelsea fans were caught on camera calling Mo Salah a “bomber” but thankfully the Blues have chosen to take swift action and they had already prevented three out of the six culprits from entering the Chelsea’s Europa League clash vs Slavia on Thursday.
While the rest three are still to be identified, but the London club intend to impose life bans on all six players once everyone is recognised.
And now speaking about the harsh comments belted out towards Mo Salah, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given his reactions.
“It’s disgusting,” said Klopp.
“Another example of something which absolutely should not happen. We should not see it as a Chelsea thing or a Liverpool thing. It’s another sign that something is going wrong out there at the moment. It’s still only a few people doing it, but the stronger the reaction is from all of us, the more it will help to avoid things like this in the future.
“These guys now are football fans and if you do something like that you should not be able to enter a stadium again, in my point of view, in your life. It’s just a complete misunderstanding of how life should be.
“All kinds of racism are that some people think they are worth more, more valuable than others. That’s the biggest misunderstanding in the world out there.
“As a part of the football community, I can say that these people should not be involved. Football is the best example of how different people, different races can work together brilliantly. Go in each dressing room, and you find them all there sitting there together, next to each other and nobody cares about where he’s coming from, who his parents were. It’s never an issue. That’s what I can say.
“They should not be allowed to be part of the football community again. They did it now, but hopefully, we can avoid someone doing something like this again.
“Football is very public and we have a strong voice, we have to use that strong voice and show that we all think the same. Things like this are not allowed to happen again.”
