Demba Ba has claimed Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel 'blamed' Istanbul Basaksehir's players after Pierre Webo was allegedly racially abused by the fourth official in last week's Champions League match.
During the first-half of the encounter at Parc des Princes, Romanian fourth official Sebastian Coltescu allegedly said 'the black one' when trying to identify Basaksehir assistant manager Webo to the referee.
Audio from the incident appeared to show Coltescu saying 'negru', the Romanian word for black. In a powerful stand, both sets of players walked off and the game was finished 24 hours later with a new set of officials.

Before they walked off Ba, a substitute for the Turkish champions that night, was livid and charged in the direction of the official to question why he had used the word to identify Webo.
At the time, Be said: 'You never say "this white guy", you say "this guy", so why when you're mentioning him... listen to me... why when you mention a black guy, why do you say "this black guy"?'
Now the former Chelsea and Newcastle striker has accused Tuchel of 'blaming' the Basaksehir players for the incident and vowed to discuss it with him when they meet again.
In an interview with TRT World, he said: 'Hats off to Basaksehir players because they felt something had to be done.
'Hats off to the players of PSG because they could have stayed on the pitch and said "we are here to play and they're not" but they decided to stop.
'One element of Paris that I wish was in front of the camera and explained is how he (Tuchel) treated us because I don't accept this.
'I will never accept this and the next time I see him he will hear about it.'

'He had one or two discussions with players of our team and was basically blaming us for what happened. That's his problem, not mine.'
Ba has also denied claims that his row with Coltescu has been resolved.
Quotes carried by Turkish newspaper Hurriyet and attributed to the former Newcastle and Chelsea striker suggested that Coltescu had called Ba and apologised for his remarks.
But responding to an article about the supposed reconciliation between the pair from French outlet SoFoot that said: 'All's well that ends well,' Ba tweeted: 'Make sure your sources are reliable before writing.'

It comes after Sportsmail's exclusive interview with Webo, who revealed his shock at being caught up in the incident and insisted it would have been easy to identify him without using such a remark.
He also claimed that the walk-off was a watershed moment for football, believing that it shows that players are finally united.
'This thing happened at a high level. This means that everything [in the levels] down, if they hear something, it can make players stop because on December 8 in the Champions League, some guys did that.
'That moment give a very big importance to players because football without players is not football.
'I feel like yes, finally players are united. They are serious. They are going altogether.
'I was proud of that thing. Not only because of me, but generally.'
Sportsmail has contacted PSG for comment.
