Souleymane was denied access to Metro train by fans
The man denied access to a Paris Metro train by Chelsea supporters has hit out at an invitation for him to attend a match at Stamford Bridge, claiming he can't be bought "with a little piece of paper".
Souleymane S - born in Paris to Mauritanian parents - was pushed back by a group of Chelsea fans chanting "We're racist and that's the way we like it" as he tried to board a train ahead of last month's Champions League round of 16 first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
The father of three was invited to Wednesday's return leg by manager Jose Mourinho, while some Chelsea fans had started a fund to raise money to pay for Souleymane to visit London.
A fortnight ago, Souleymane's lawyer Jim Michel-Gabriel confirmed the 33-year-old would not be attending the game claiming "it was too early for him to watch a match".
And speaking to French radio station RTL, Souleymane said he had no desire to be among Chelsea supporters at a game, adding he is still suffering from sleepless nights following the incident.
"I won't go. They can't buy me with a little piece of paper. I'm not a child," Souleymane said. "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."
