Chelsea star Mendy slams English and French press for mistaken identity

Meanwhile, Briefly News had earlier reported that Chelsea shot-stopper Edouard Mendy has slammed the French and English media that used his picture to depict the story of Man City defender Benjamin Mendy who is being charged with sexual assualt, Sport Bible.

Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy was also drawn into the conversation as his face was added to stories written about the City star.

The Senegalese goalkeeper condemned the story and believes it showed that racism still exists in England and France.

The 28-year-old posted on his Instagram:

"Sad to see in 2021, in France as well as in England, for some, black people have neither names nor distinct face," he said, in quotes published by the Metro.
"These 'mistakes' of photos appear anecdotal, but they are quite the opposite, they are highly symbolic.
"It's not that complicated to differentiate two faces, especially when the football jersey is of valuable help.
