The victim of racial abuse hurled by Chelsea fans has spoken out about the incident and has revealed what exactly happened on the Paris Metro.

Footage was released late on Tuesday night that showed a group of football fans preventing a black individual from boarding, and despite him trying on two separate occasions, the fans wouldn’t let him in before chanting ‘we’re racist, we’re racist, and that is how we like it’.

After the football club released a statement issuing an apology and claiming they will take actions against the individuals who were seen, the victim of the incident has also spoken out.

‘I wanted to get into the car but a group of English fans blocking me and pushed me away. I tried to force the passage, I again tried to return. In the scramble, I lost my phone,’ he told Le Parisien.

‘They told me things in English but I did not really understand the meaning of their words. I do not speak a word of English.

‘I understand also that they were attacking me because of the colour of my skin. You know, I live with racism, I was not really surprised by what happened to me even if it was a first in the subway.

‘These people, these English fans must be found, punished and must be enclosed. What happened should not go unpunished.’
