Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has once again been subjected to racial abuse online following Manchester City\u2019s commanding 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 26-year-old forward delivered an impressive performance across the full 90 minutes, playing a key role in City\u2019s dominant display. However, what should have been a moment of celebration quickly turned sour after he shared a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Semenyo was met with a stream of racist comments, prompting a frustrated reaction from the forward, who wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s started again\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u2014 highlighting the recurring nature of the abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This marks the second time this season that the Ghanaian has been targeted, having previously suffered similar attacks following his former side AFC Bournemouth\u2019s defeat to Liverpool in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the off-field challenges, Semenyo continues to thrive on the pitch since his high-profile \u00a364 million move to Manchester City in January. He has been in outstanding form, scoring 15 league goals, winning the Carabao Cup, and establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest incident once again shines a spotlight on the persistent issue of racism in football, particularly on social media, where players continue to face abuse regardless of their performances or achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Support has poured in from fans and teammates following Semenyo\u2019s post, with many condemning the abuse and calling for stronger action against offenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Ghana, the forward remains a vital asset ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Black Stars\u2014now under the guidance of Carlos Queiroz\u2014will face tough group stage opposition in England, Croatia, and Panama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has once again been subjected to racial abuse online following Manchester City\u2019s commanding 3-0 victory over…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":244769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[84],"class_list":["post-247100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-stories","tag-antoine-semenyo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/learn.oshtree.org\/b-class\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
