Paris racism victim turns down Mourinho’s invitation to Stamford Bridge

Souleymane S, the man who was prevented from boarding a Paris Metro train by racist Chelsea fans, has declined the club’s invitation to come to Stamford Bridge.

Three Blues supporters have been suspended as investigatiions continue and the club has written to Souleymane to apologize and invite him and his family to watch Chelsea take on Paris Saint-Germain in London.

“We feel ashamed and we want to apologise to the gentleman,” Mourinho told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

“Even if he doesn’t like football, put him in the director’s box, people will give him a reaction and he will realise that Chelsea is completely the opposite of what happened.

“I’m sure he will get a fantastic reaction, in a way where the fans can express how sad they were about it.”

But speaking to Le Parisien, Souleymane responded: “I appreciate Mr Mourinho’s invitation, but I can’t get my head around being in a stadium at the moment.”
