Capello: racist fans should be banned for life

Feb 18, 2020

Former England manager Fabio Capello says fans who are guilty of racist abuse should be banned from stadiums for life. 

He reckons that current punishments are not enough, as they've done little to deal with the problem. 

There have been a number of high profile racist incidents this season... 

The latest case happened in Portugal at the weekend, when a Porto player walked off the pitch after being abused by opposing fans.

Neymar is expected to play for PSG, in tomorrow morning's Champions League last-16 first-leg tie at Borussia Dortmund. 

The Brazilian forward has not played since the start of February, due to a rib injury. 

Kylian Mbappe will also be back, after being rested from PSG's French League match at the weekend.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he's still wary of Atletico Madrid, ahead of tomorrow morning's Champions League last-16 clash in Spain. 

This is despite Atletico's current slump, which has seen them post one win in their last seven matches. 

However, Klopp says domestic form means nothing in Champions League, and believes that Atletico are more than capable of beating them.
