what happened. Webo yelled something from the bench that wasn't

Webo hears this and goes ballistic, yelling repeatedly 'who's the Negro?'. Tempers flare, and it appears that at the end it's also about whether it's racist to designate someone out of a group by his skin colour, and if Webo was singled

A sensitive topic for sure, but more of a misunderstanding than anything. Match is supposed to be resumed in four minutes. Perhaps the players
will just pass the ball between themselves.
It seems that Basaksehir refuse to take the field.

Still empty pitch. So how will this be handled? There's hardly room
for a replay. PSG wasn't involved, so no way they can be declared
losers.
And the third option could be a PR nightmare for UEFA.

Manure own the H2H tiebreaker so Leipzig has to win today to qualify. If they draw and PSG lose to Istanbul then both these teams go through.
Salzburg (4) - Atletico (6)
Salzburg can pip AM to second with a win.
Group B
Inter (5) - Shakhtar (7)
RM (7) - BM (8)
The best group.
Inter through with a win if RM-BM does NOT end up a draw.
SD through with a win, or with a draw if RM does NOT win.
BM through with a win or a draw, or with a loss if Inter-SD ends up a draw.
RM through with a win, or a draw if Inter beats SD.
I think I got all that right? Maybe.
Back to football, Ajax and Atalanta tied at 0-0 at HT. Atalanta going through if this score holds.Free-flowing fun Atalanta are surprisingly good at closing up shop.
Salzburg looks far more dangerous in the opening 10 mins. Which means Atletico should score any moment now.Meanwhile Salzburg are going full in, Berisha, Koita and Daka all start. This will backfire so badly.I cant decide whether to watch the Salzburg or Inter or Madrid game next. So many interesting options!
Real 1-0 BM
If Borussia go out there will be no one else to blame considering how many late leads they squandered.

At this point, the most interesting venue is San Siro, where a draw is not enough for either team. Expect crazy stuff?
I think we're saying the same thing.

Inter 0-0 SD
I couldn't understand why Shakhtar were sitting back and time wasting when they were going out with a draw, but then I realized that they were content with a Europa League spot, which is their real level
(something Man U still haven't accepted :-)
Borussia's story is quite strange. Going out after squandering multiple late leads, they lose convincingly on the final day but go through because two teams needing a win couldn't muster a single goal between
them. Such are strange twists of fate.
Salzburg go out after a valiant effort but a couple of Atletico sucker punches. We've seen this movie before so many times.

Of course, there was no racism in that Paris incident. Rather, it was a case of refusing rCLto swallow onerCOs priderCY. The Black gentleman Webo thought he heard rCLNegrorCY. He did not complain rCLWhy did you call me BlackrCY. Instead, he repeated several times rCLWhy did you call me NegrorCY.
It was explained to him that rCyNegrurCO means rCyBlackrCO in Romanian, and nothing more. No connotations of any kind. But Monsieur Webo refused to rCLswallow his priderCY (misunderstanding). That way, he aggravated his gaffe and the incident exploded into a large-scale scandal.
