"African people would fight because of following European football," he said, as per BeIn Sports. "But European people don't even care about African football.

"They don't even know about our teams, but us we know their teams. All they do in Europe is to racially abuse our African players.

"They just use Africans for their benefits and throw them out after using them. Our players are always in the middle of racism every week but the refs give yellow cards and red cards if a player reacts to racism.

Aboutrika lifted 28 major titles over his 16-year career, including three Africa Cup of Nations titles with the Pharaohs.
