“LOL. Must be my imagination.” That was the response from Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi last week when he found out, via Sky Sports News, that Uefa had dropped their investigation into complaints of racist chanting by Atalanta fans.
It’s not the first time that European football’s governing body dropped a racism case in March. Uefa said there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Spartak Moscow captain Leonid Mironov for racially abusing Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster.
Mironov admitted he swore at the attacker but that was the end of that. Uefa believed him.
