Chelsea Football Club has condemned the shameful behaviour of three of its fans who were filmed aggressively pushing a black passenger from boarding a Metro train at Richelieu-Drouot station in central Paris yesterday.
The incident which happened shortly before Chelsea's Champions League match with Paris Saint-Germain was filmed by Paul Nolan, a Briton living in Paris and released by UK Guardian newspaper.
The group of men chanted "Chelsea, Chelsea. We're racist, we're racist, and that's the way we like it."
Asides being banned by their football club, they also face 3 years in jail.
Chelsea said in a statement, "Such behaviour is abhorrent and has no place in football or society. We will support any criminal action against those involved, and should evidence point to involvement of Chelsea season-ticket holders or members the club will take the strongest possible action against them, including banning orders."
