Tottenham Hotspur expressed their disgust after forward Mathys Tel was subjected to racial abuse on social media following their UEFA Super Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Tel missed a crucial penalty during the shoot-out, leading to Tottenham's defeat after they initially held a 2-0 lead. The club stated their commitment to supporting Tel and addressing the abuse, emphasizing the cowardice of those who perpetrate such acts online. Tottenham pledged to collaborate with authorities and social media platforms to take action against identified abusers.
We are disgusted at the racial abuse that Mathys Tel has received on social media following last night's UEFA Super Cup defeat. Mathys showed bravery and courage to step forward and take a penalty, yet those who abuse him are nothing but cowards - hiding behind anonymous usernames and profiles to spout their abhorrent views.
We will work with the authorities and social media platforms to take the strongest possible action against any individual we are able to identify. We stand with you, Mathys.
