Bayern Munich has denounced the racist taunts directed at Kingsley Coman following France's World Cup final loss to Argentina on penalties.
Coman had an impact after coming on as a 71st-minute replacement with France trailing 2-0 on Sunday. Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick helped Les Bleus force the decisive penalty kicks at the conclusion of a thrilling 3-3 draw.
The winger, though, was the first shooter to miss in the shoot-out when Emiliano Martinez made a good stop to his right, and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni missed the following attempt for France.
Following France's 4-2 shootout loss, Coman received racist comments on social media, which prompted his club to denounce those responsible.
A statement issued via the Bundesliga champions' Twitter account read: "FC Bayern strongly condemn the racist comments made towards Kingsley Coman.
"The FC Bayern family is behind you, King. Racism has no place in sport or our society."
On the eve of the World Cup, the French Football Federation condemned racist messages addressed to midfielder Eduardo Camavinga following suggestions he was responsible for an injury suffered by Christopher Nkunku in training.
