Juventus teen footballer subjected to racist chants
Juventus teenage striker Moise Kean suffered racist abuse from fans after helping his side to a 2-0 victory over Cagliari in the Serie A match on Tuesday.
Kean scored the winner with five minutes left on the clock and celebrated with his arms open, in response to chants aimed at him throughout the game.
He was then subjected to monkey noises from Cagliari fans.
Shortly after the goal, Juve’s French midfielder Blaise Matuidi appeared to threaten to walk off in a bid to protest against the abuse his teammate faced.
Matuidi complained last year that he was subject to racist abuse at the same stadium and Cagliari later apologized.
Play was halted on Tuesday and a warning was broadcast to the crowd – the first step in the so-called three-step procedure which ultimately leads to the teams being led off the field. Play resumed amid more booing and the referee blew the final whistle shortly afterwards.
