Liverpool Complain To UEFA Over Racist Insults Directed At Nigerian Messi

Liverpool have sent a complaint to the parent body of European Football, UEFA, in the wake of their UEFA Youth League clash against Spartak Moscow at Futbol'noe pole 4 Spartak in Moscow on Tuesday, September 26.

According to the online edition of The Telegraph, Liverpool have made an official complaint to Uefa after claiming one of their youth players was subjected to racial abuse in Moscow.

The Reds argued that Ibadan-born winger Bobby Adekanye, dubbed the Nigerian Messi in these parts, was subjected to racism during the game by the supporters of Spartak Moscow.

The former Barcelona wonderkid was insulted verbally and with racist gestures when he was introduced in the 59th minute, and the remaining 31 minutes he spent on the pitch.

Liverpool academy director, Alex Inglethorpe, attended the game and reported the incident to the Uefa official on duty.

Adekanye, 18, joined Liverpool in 2015 from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
