A few minutes after his match was over PAOK with Aberdeen for the 4th round of the Conference League in Tuba, the Scottish team made a formal complaint for an incident of racist attack against its football player, Pope Habib Gweg!
The “black and white” PAE reacted immediately, took a position and denied any such possibilityemphasizing, among other things, that “it is a science fiction scenario, since it did not come to the attention of anyone in charge of the organization. In contrast, the defiant behavior of the Aberdeen substitutes in their equalizer was evident and to their credit, the fans did not react at all».
However, it seems that the issue will continue, since according to Sky Sports, the UEFA An investigation into the racist attack on the Scots player is being launched, with a spokesman for football’s European Union stressing: “An Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector was appointed to conduct an investigation. More information on this matter will become available in due course».

Let us remind you that in the previous days the Thessaloniki team had made a statement to Sky Sports about the event in question, in which they stated:In both games, in Aberdeen and Thessaloniki, the fans were completely accepted by the local communities.
Two spectacular games without even the slightest incident of offense or aggressive behavior. The two teams had an excellent cooperation.
PAOK is a team founded by Greek refugees, they are inherently against racism and in Toumba we have faced all kinds of problems in the past, apart from any racist behaviour.
The officials didn’t hear or see anything, so for us the most important thing remains the nice exchange of football culture in both games between our teams».
