The LIVERPOOL U19 team left the field in their match against Eintracht Frankfurt after alleged racist abuse.
The Reds’ players refused to continue after one of their teammates was subjected to racist insults, according to Bild.
A Frankfurt player used a racist term to insult an opponent, the report added.
Liverpool responded by leaving the pitch and refusing to continue.
As a result, the match was abandoned, despite being tied 1-1 at the time of the incident.
The two groups faced each other in a youth football tournament in the southern German town of Schwäbisch Hall.
Frankfurt manager Timmo Hardung claimed after the attack that the accused player had been misheard.
Instead, he argued that they used the slang term “digga,” brother or boy.
Hardung told Bild: “Our entire NLZ is like Eintracht Frankfurt, multicultural and we have transparent values that we live by and demand.
“There is no place for racism here, but we take that accusation seriously. “
He continued: “After consulting him, our player showed that he had used the word ‘digga’, common in youth slang, during a general match. We are convinced that this is correct.
“We can rule out racism, it is a linguistic factor, so we hope we have cleared up the false impression of the players concerned and also of the Liverpool FC management. “
