Porto star Moussa Marega tells Vitoria fans to ‘f*** yourself’ after he walks off pitch following vile racist abuse
The referee took no action but Capello said: “You have to stop the game and find the people who do this.
“We have to make sure they are outside the stadiums for life, not two or three years, or ten years.
“It has to be for life. It must be impossible for them to ever come into a stadium again.
“Uefa and Fifa have to take clear decisions.”
Ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, speaking alongside Capello at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin, added: “Racism is, for me, basically the same as violence.”
Meanwhile, Capello was caught up in a sexism row — after claiming men’s pitches and goals are too large for women.
The Italian said: “The goal is too big for women. And the pitch is too wide.
“When women play basketball, the hoop is not as high as it is for the men.”
But USA’s women’s World Cup-winning coach Jill Ellis, sharing a stage with Capello, was among many unhappy with his remarks.
