"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."

Los Blancos defender Mendy praised his namesake for speaking out on social media as he tweeted:

"Thank you Edouard Mendy! We are in 2021,' he said followed by three sad face emojis.

"STOP! It will take time but you will end up respecting us! Whether you like it or not."
