Souleymane S has said he cannot be bought "with a little piece of paper."

The man who was pushed away as he attempted to board a train before the 1-1 draw between PSG and Chelsea last month has declined an invitation from the London club to attend a match at Stamford Bridge. Footage emerged after the game of a group of Chelsea supporters chanting "we're racist and that's the way we like it" as they refused to allow Souleymane onto the Parisian train. Blues boss Jose Mourinho invited the father-of-three to visit Stamford Bridge for tonight's return leg of the tie but the Paris man has turned down the offer. Speaking to French radio station RTL, he said: "I won't go. They can't buy me with a little piece of paper. I'm not a child. "I don't want to sit in that stadium next to those people who pushed me. "I still hear the voices of those people who pushed me because of the colour of my skin. I can't go to work anymore. I live with racism but it's the first time I've had to go to a doctor to ask for pills to calm myself down." H/t to Sky Sports
