Anderlecht striker Nenad Jestrovic has been banned for three European games after being found guilty of racism during last week’s game with Liverpool.
Uefa found Jestrovic guilty of a “racially-motivated insult” after he clashed with Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko.
He said: “I accept the decision but I was on a losing ticket as the referee’s report said one thing, I said another.”
“I am not a racist but unfortunately I don’t matter and the referee does.”
Serbia & Montenegro interational said last week: “I don’t understand why the referee sent me off. Sissoko didn’t hear it and he looked surprised when I was sent off.
“I participate in all the anti-racism events we have at Anderlecht and it’s difficult for me to think that everyone thinks I’m a racist, especially because I want to play in England one day.
“I like everyone and it’s not important to me what colour people are.”
