Manchester City's Raheem Sterling, Kyle Walker receive racist abuse after Champions League final loss

Manchester City players Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker have been racially abused on Instagram following the team's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea in the Champions League final.

Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling and defender Kyle Walker received racist abuse on social media shortly after their team's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea in Saturday's Champions League final. The report said the pair were sent monkey emojis on their Instagram pages after the game. Chelsea won their second Champions League title and denied Pep Guardiola's Manchester City their first after Kai Havertz grabbed a first-half goal to secure a 1-0 win in Saturday's all-English final at the Estadio Do Dragao. Premier League champions City were favourites ahead of the final but suffered a desperately disappointing night in their first Champions League showpiece match.
