Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Two German football players were subjected to racial abuse on social media after a national team match against Israel.<\/p>\n

In Thursday’s EURO Under-21 Championship opener against Israel in Kutaisi, Georgia, both Youssoufa Moukoko, 18, and Jessic Ngankam, 22, missed their penalty shots.<\/p>\n

Following the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, both players were subject to racist and discriminatory comments on social media.<\/p>\n

On the racist posts, Moukoko said: “If we win, we’re all Germans. If we lose, then these ‘monkey’ comments arrive. Jessic got them, and so did I. Things like this simply do not belong in football.”<\/p>\n

On Twitter, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said: “Our national players show the best side of our modern and diverse Germany; these racist comments show the ugliest side.The racist insults against Youssoufa Moukoko and Jessic Ngankam are inhuman and disgusting.”<\/p>\n

German football\u2019s governing body also condemned the racist remarks.<\/p>\n

“Racist, insulting and discriminatory comments were made against some of our players after today’s U21 EURO game against Israel. We fully condemn these remarks,” the DFB tweeted.<\/p>\n

Moukoko has been a Borussia Dortmund forward since 2020, meanwhile Ngankam is playing for Hertha Berlin.<\/p>\n
