Olympique de Marseille defended its defender Alvaro Gonzalez on Monday who "is not racist", while the Spanish player was accused of racism by Paris star player SG Neymar during the "Clasico" won (1-0) by OM on Sunday at Parc des Princes.

"Alvaro Gonzalez is not racist, he demonstrated it to us by his daily behavior since his arrival at the club, as his teammates have already testified", wrote in a press release the Marseille club, which qualifies as " the very symbol of anti-racism in French professional sport ".
