Bayern Munich have condemned the racist abuse directed at Dayot Upamecano following their Champions League defeat at Lazio on Wednesday.
France defender Upamecano was sent off in the 67th minute after conceding a penalty, which Ciro Immobile converted for Lazio’s 1-0 round of 16 first-leg win.
“FC Bayern strongly condemn the racist comments being directed towards Dayot Upamecano on social media,” the German champions said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Anyone who comments hateful words such as these is no fan of our club. We’re all behind you, Upa!”
Upamecano’s red card means the 25-year-old will miss the second leg in Munich on March 5.
Bayern’s defeat increased the pressure on former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel after Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen saw them fall five points behind Xabi Alonso’s Bundesliga leaders.
Tuchel’s side also suffered a shock second-round German Cup exit to third division minnows Saarbrucken in November.
