Manchester
City's chief operating officer Omar Berrada has praised Chelsea's efforts in
tackling the alleged racist abuse aimed at Raheem Sterling.
Police are still investigating the alleged abuse but Berrarda praised the
work Chelsea have done.
Cameras appeared to capture a Chelsea supporter shouting what is alleged to
be racist abuse at Sterling during Manchester City's 2-0 defeat at Stamford
Bridge in December.
Chelsea, the Met and the Football Association are continuing to investigate
the incident.
Berrarda said: "Chelsea have done a very good job at demonstrating that it
is something that won't be tolerated anywhere in football. In that sense we
were very aligned.
"There was a really good collaboration between the two clubs to tackle this
issue.
"It was a terrible situation to be in. We as a club offer all type of
support as a player.
"Both from a moral support ensuring that Raheem (Sterling) felt he had the
backing of anybody at the club and we also have worked together with
different stakeholders to ensure we provide as much information so they can
carry on their investigation."
