((HT: Manchester City TV))
Not that this is a surprise or anything... it's just the most recent version of it...
Both UEFA and FIFA have big initiatives including their biggest stars trying to block out any kind of racism and racist chants during games at the sport's biggest stars...
This time, it was Manchester City's Yaya Toure hearing it from CSKA Moscow's fans...
Here's City TV's interview with Yaya after the match...
Russian soccer fans have a history of doing these kinds of silly things thinking that they're cool and all that...
But, they're really not...
And, sadly, the HQ doesn't think this is going to stop any time soon...
THURSDAY UPDATE: CSKA is, of course, denying anything happened...
"There was a lot of noise in the stadium. Nobody else, other than Yaya Toure, heard anything. The only trouble that has come about was because Yaya Toure heard something," CSKA's deputy media manager Michael Sanadze said.
UEFA said on Thursday morning: "We are awaiting the reports from the match which should land at some point today or tomorrow.
"Once received, the contents will determine whether a disciplinary case be opened. Should this be the case, we will communicate accordingly."
