Jose Mourinho admitted he felt 'ashamed' by the racially-motivated incident involving Chelsea fans last week . Seven men sought in connection with racist chanting in London last week have been identified . Commuter Souleymane S was refused entry on to the Paris Metro by Chelsea fans in a seperate incident . The man attempts to forcibly gain entry to the Paris Metro train but struggles with passengers on board . These flashpoints together with a fierce local rivalry with Spurs, a club with Jewish traditions, have prompted an appeal ahead of Sunday’s Wembley showpiece. A Chelsea statement said: ‘For a small minority, this game has historically brought a deeply unpleasant and unwanted level of anti-Semitic abuse. 'Opposition supporters using terms as a form of identity is no excuse for abusive chanting or behaviour. The club asks that all supporters realise such actions cause huge offence to those around them. 'If we receive evidence that supporters have engaged in anti-Semitic or any other form of discriminatory chanting or behaviour, we will take the strongest possible action, including supporting criminal prosecution. 'Recent events in Paris have seen Chelsea fans united in their contempt for a mindless few. 'Chelsea is proud of the diversity within our club and our vision embraces equality regardless of race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion. We all share the common cause of supporting our team.' Sunday’s Capital One Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley promises to be a passionate and exciting match with both sets of supporters contributing to an excellent occasion. After consultation between the Metropolitan Police and both clubs, we would like to remind supporters of their responsibilities on the day.
