“Everyone in the club denounces racism in the strongest possible way! The whole club is with you, Upa!” Published Bayern in a comment left on the athlete’s Instagram account.
The France centre-back did not perform well against City on Tuesday, making several mistakes, including one that resulted in the England team’s second goal.
