Kolo Muani and Tchouameni have African origins, since Kolo Muani’s parents are Congolese, and Tchouameni’s are Cameroonians. For his part, Kingsley Coman’s father was born on the Island of Guadalupe, in the Caribbean. These three very diverse origins have been the main argument of several misplaced to attack the footballers.
Faced with the wave of racist attacks, footballers have deactivated comments on their posts on Instagram, and even Bayern Munich complained and publicly defended their player, Kingsley Coman.
