"Liverpool condemned the comments directed at Ibrahima Konate, stating: 'It is dehumanising, cowardly and rooted in hate. Racism has no place in football, no place in society and no place anywhere - online or offline.'"
"'Our players are not targets. They are human beings. The abuse that continues to be directed at players, often hidden behind anonymous accounts, is a stain on the game and on the platforms that allow it to persist.'"
"'We will continue to offer Ibrahima our full support and will work with the relevant authorities to identify those responsible wherever possible. But the burden cannot keep falling on players and clubs to respond after the damage has already been done.'"
