Bayern Munich condemned racial abuse targeting defender Dayot Upamecano on social media on Wednesday following the team's Champions League loss to Manchester City.
Bayern lost 3-0 to Pep Guardiola's City side on Tuesday evening as their hopes of winning their first Champions League title since 2020 were dealt a huge blow.
Rodri opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, but a string of errors from Bayern followed as City ran riot in Manchester.
Abusive messages were left as comments underneath a recent post on Upamecano's Instagram account after he made a crucial mistake leading to a goal.
The defender struggled throughout the evening during the game, and was targeted online after the match.
'Just go back to Africa. Horrible match and it's not the first time,' said one user.
Another posted a series of monkey emojis in the comment section.
'All of us at FC Bayern condemn racism in the strongest possible terms! The entire club stands behind you, Upa!' Bayern's club account also posted in the comments.
Upamecano lost possession before City's second goal on Tuesday. He was dispossessed by Jack Grealish, before Bernardo Silva eventually ended up heading in to make it 2-0.
He also received criticism from fans for trying to play out from the back too regularly during the game.
The 24-year-old has played for Bayern as a central defender since 2021 and has played 14 times for the French national team.
Last week, Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs published threatening and racist messages he had received after his team beat Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup.
