1:08Now PlayingPlayers from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Istanbul Basaksehir delivered a powerful message before their re-arranged Group H match on Wednesday, as they took a knee and raised fists around the centre circle of the Parc des Princes pitch, while the UEFA Champions League anthem was played, in a united stand against racism.
The game was abandoned on Tuesday with a match official accused of having used a racist term towards one of the away side's backroom staff.
Istanbul alleged that fourth official Sebastian Coltescu used the language towards their assistant coach Pierre Webo, who was shown a red card in an exchange on the touchline.
Players from both Istanbul and PSG walked off the pitch in protest.
A new team of officials oversaw Wednesday's revised contest in Paris, led by Dutch referee Danny Makkelie.
