“They don’t deserve any reaction, they don’t deserve any respect.5

“I am obviously not surprised that things like this still happen but I like the fact that we put the finger on it and say ‘You cannot say what you want, it is not possible’.“As long as people are silly enough to do this, they need to be punished for it, that is how it is.“I am sure 95 per cent of people or more are not like this so we should try to find the right amount of attention for these people.5

Klopp has praised Sterling’s reaction

“Yes, punish them but do not talk too much about them because they do not deserve that we talk about them.”Former England international John Barnes believes ethnic minorities would not have been surprised by the abuse suffered by Sterling as racism remains “prevalent” in British society.Barnes, capped 79 times by his country, was the victim of persistent racism during his playing days, including monkey chants and having bananas thrown at him.5

The 55-year-old feels prejudice and discrimination extend far beyond football and stems from “hundreds of years of indoctrination”.“When people talk about, ‘Oh isn’t that terrible what happened to Raheem Sterling?’, you speak to black people in the inner cities and they say ‘this is what we go through every single day’,” Barnes told BBC One’s Breakfast programme. “It’s not a surprise to us. It’s prevalent in society as you go into the inner cities and see how disenfranchised and what a lack of opportunities there are for members of ethnic minorities.“So why should football be any different?“Society has to change. The only way we can change racism is if we change the perception of the average black person in the street.“It’s a very long-term process, we’re talking about hundreds of years of indoctrination ensuring that there are certain groups of people who are more worthy than others.”5

The incident occurred during the first-half of City’s defeat at Chelsea

A group of Chelsea supporters were shown screaming abuse at Sterling – alleged to be racist in nature – as he retrieved the ball from behind the goal at Stamford Bridge, with the incident shared widely on social media.Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police are investigating the claims, while the Football Association has said it will also work with the clubs and other authorities to ensure the matter is dealt with appropriately.The 24-year-old Sterling subsequently accused the British media of helping to “fuel racism” via their portrayal of young, black footballers.
