Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola launched a defence of midfielder Bernardo Silva.
The latter was involved in a racism row after he posted a picture on social media that compared a young Benjamin Mendy to a graphic on a popular chocolate.
Many accused Bernardo of racism, but Guardiola does not believe that is the case.
"Honestly, I don't know what will happen," Guardiola told reporters about the furore surrounding his Portuguese midfielder.
"They should put their focus on another issue because they don't know which guy you are talking about.
"Bernardo is one of the most lovely people I ever met in my life. He speaks four or five languages and that is the best way to understand how open-minded he is and one of his best friends is Mendy. He's like a brother to him.
"The image is not about the colour of the skin. He took a picture of Benjamin when he was young and he related it to this cartoon, which was quite similar for the image.
"If they want to do that [investigate] and ask for Bernardo, I think he will be open to talk. But first you have to know exactly which person you are talking about.
"There are many situations with people, with white people and you look at a cartoon and the face is quite similar as your face and you put it in there, it is quite similar.
"I think the response from Mendy was clear after that. They are joking all the time. Maybe what I say as advice is to hide social media, if something happened it would be a mistake.
"Bernardo is an exceptional person. A guy who can speak five languages, it's because he's open-minded nothing about the colour of the skin, nationalities or whatever."
