Black players may look to avoid penalties after abuse of Tel: Charity
PAMedia/dpa London Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out says players may think twice about taking penalties in future after Tottenham's Mathys Tel received online racist abuse. France Under-21 international Tel is the latest player to be targeted on social media after he missed a spot kick in Wednesday night's UEFA Supercup penalty shoot-out defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The Premier League club lost the shoot-out 4-3 after they had surrendered a late 2-0 lead in Italy to draw 2-2 after 90 minutes. Tottenham said they were 'disgusted' by the abuse directed at Tel and Kick It Out claim social media companies are still not doing enough to combat online racism. A Kick It Out statement read: 'If you're a black player, it would be totally understandable to think, 'Why would I want to take a penalty?' That's the state of the game right now, and the sad fact is, it's nothing new. 'Players are routinely targeted with racism online and want action; we want action, too. 'Accountability from offenders and social media companies is a baseline, but it's not being met. 'Football bodies, authorities, and the regulator Ofcom, must come together to accelerate a plan that better protects players. 'Their welfare should always be paramount, and we stand with Mathys Tel and all those who have suffered this continuing, racist abuse.' Tottenham, who initially signed Tel on loan from Bayern Munich in January before making the move permanent in June, said the player had shown 'bravery and courage to step forward and take a penalty' . The club said in a statement: 'We are disgusted at the racial abuse that Mathys Tel has received on social media following last night's UEFA Supercup defeat. 'Mathys showed bravery and courage to step forward and take a penalty, yet those who abuse him are nothing but cowards - hiding behind anonymous usernames and profiles to spout their abhorrent views. 'We will work with the authorities and social media platforms to take the strongest possible action against any individual we are able to identify. We stand with you, Mathys.' Tottenham led 2-0 until the 85th minute at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, through goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero before late efforts from Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos hauled PSG level.

Jurgen Klopp signing told he's no champion after 'disheartening' role in Liverpool title win
A LOOK BACK: Xherdan Shaqiri was a big part of the Liverpool squad when he first joined, but by the time they won the Premier League in 2020, he had fallen out of favour on Merseyside Liverpool have secured a second Premier League title in five years, this time under Arne Slot. Their first came when Jurgen Klopp was still in charge, with then-midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri on the receiving end of some astonishing criticism in the days following the achievement. Shaqiri, who also won the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Supercup, was told he played a "disheartening" role in the 2020 Premier League title win by none other than a former coach from his native Switzerland, Arno Rossini. The former FC Sion coach brutally told Swiss publication Tio in 2020 that the winger was more like a bystander at Anfield during their success, and the same could be said for his other trophy wins with other clubs. Rossini said: "Xherdan is not a champion. Not with the big guys at least. He was the protagonist in Basel, certainly not at Bayern or Liverpool. Let's say that over the years, he has often followed the games of his teams as a spectator, sitting in the best places. And millions have also been paid for it. "This, taking everything into account, makes me think that the Swiss is not one who always gives his best." He later added: "If not as owner, at least one important reserve role, from first choice on the bench, (he) would otherwise have managed to carve it (a place in the team) out. Instead nothing. Only the crumbs, for a disheartening situation. "Of course, Xherdan is filling the bulletin board and seeing his bank account grow dramatically; I don't know how many, in ten years, will remember him thinking about the great teams in which he has played." Shaqiri joined the Reds in the summer transfer window of 2018, signing a five-year deal worth £12.5million under Klopp. He made just 63 appearances across three years for Liverpool, scoring eight goals and assisting nine times. As well as Liverpool's success in the 2019/20 season, Shaqiri won trophies with FC Basel and Bayern Munich, winning three Bundesliga titles, one Champions League, two DFB-Pokals and one DFL-Supercup with the German team. The 33-year-old has returned to FC Basel, where he is a three-time Swiss champion and has also won the domestic cup twice. While the winger has been successful with his clubs over the years, Shaqiri will likely be remembered for his outstanding international career. He has scored 32 goals in just 125 appearances for Switzerland and became the only person to score at the last six major international championships, dating back to the 2014 World Cup.
