Didier Drogba has come out in support of Serge Aurier amid mounting criticism of the Paris Saint-Germain right back following his homophobic comments towards his manager and his team-mates.

The former Chelsea striker has felt the need to stand up for his 'little brother', claiming 'we have all made mistakes' after the player was widely condemned for his jibes.

PSG boss Laurent Blanc and members of the first-team squad, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, were insulted by Aurier via a video posted live on Periscope in which the defender carried out a Q&A with supporters.

The 23-year-old missed his side's Champions League last-16 first leg clash with Chelsea at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night after the club suspended him following the episode which brought embarrassment on the French club.

In a video on PSG TV, the Ivory Coast international moved to retract his comments by making a public apology to everyone offended by the video, stating he would accept all consequences.

And his compatriot Drogba has moved to call on the need to avoid a two-tier justice system, whereby some players receive harsher treatment than others.

The Montreal Impact striker posted: 'I don't often comment on these things but the way my little brother @serge_aurier has been treated over the past few days has really upset me so I feel the need to say something.

'Yes he made a mistake, yes he said things he should not have said, but we have all made mistakes, players (myself included), coaches, managers, referees, club presidents, even the fans!

Laurent Blanc said he felt let down on a personal level having persuaded the 23-year-old to sign for PSG

'Even the people saying he should be "put in jail".... how can young players learn from their mistakes if they are not given the proper support and advice?

'Should we not be educating younger players on how to behave, preparing them for a world where social media can make or break your career?
