France forward Kingsley Coman and midfielder Aurelien Tchoumaini were subjected to online racist abuse after missing a penalty in Sunday’s World Cup final against Argentina, the BBC reported on Monday.
Coman’s effort was saved by Argentinian keeper Emiliano Martínez from the spot and Choumeni fired wide to give Argentina their first world title since 1986 and third overall.
Coman’s club Bayern Munich posted a message of support for the 26-year-old, condemning racist comments made towards him.
