RENNES, FRANCE: The word “racist” was daubed on the wall of a house owned by Didier Deschamps days after the France manager was accused by Karim Benzema of bowing to “pressure from a racist part of France”. The Real Madrid striker made the accusation after being left out of Deschamps’ squad for the European championships starting in France next Friday. Police confirmed to AFP on Saturday that the Deschamps’ property in the Brittany town of Concarneau had been tagged with the word “racist”. It was quickly wiped off again.
