Mali international Moussa Marega asked to be replaced after scoring Porto’s winning goal (1-2) due to racist chants. In an interview after the game, the 28-year-old said “right from start of the game they were after me. I mean the supporters. I couldn’t just continue.”

In the Premier League, Arsenal returned to winning ways on Sunday since their last victory of January 1. Two Africans contributed immensely to the Gunners’ 4-0 success against Newcastle United.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed the opener while Nicholas Pepe scored once and delivered two assists.
