Several Rangers players attested to hearing the comment too, but the player and his team clearly denied the allegation.

After a long while, things were brought under control and the game continued. Slavia Prague went on to win the match 2-0 and advance to the Quarter finals where they now face Arsenal FC of England, with the First leg ending in a 1-1 draw.

After due investigations, UEFA has pronounced a 10 match UEFA Ban on Kudela for his racist comments against Glen Kamara.

The ban takes effect from the first leg encounter of their Quarter final clash with Arsenal for which he was given a provisional match ban, pending the decision of the Disciplinary Body.
