Racist fan throws banana at Brazilian footballer

Brazil have condemned the racist abuse of Richarlison after the forward had a banana and other objects thrown at him in their 5-1 friendly win over Tunisia.

The incident took place after the Tottenham striker celebrated scoring Brazil’s second goal in Paris.

Brazil had posed with an anti-racism banner prior to kick-off as the team lined up with a message that read, ‘Without our black players, we wouldn’t have stars on our shirts’.

Teams that win the World Cup are allowed to place a star above their team badge on their uniform.

Brazil has won the World Cup 5 times, the most wins by any country in the world.
