Former Chelsea defender Alex has become embroiled in a homophobia row.

The Brazilian who is currently at PSG has been criticized for anti-gay remarks in a documentary called Jesus Football Club which airs on French TV tonight.

In the programme, Alex is quoted as saying that "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Yves."

Ex-PSG defender Ceara was also included in the programme and the Brazilian claimed that: "I’m not really for homosexuality. It takes away a little bit of God’s plan.”

The comments came to light on the day that ex-Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger announced that he is gay.
