As he was about to take a last-minute penalty to make it 1-1, Lukaku was the victim of racist chants and shouts from Juve fans, and when he did a ‘shush’ celebration he was inexplicably sent off for a second yellow card.
Ismael Bennacer publicly expressed his thoughts on the incident today, through a story on Instagram: “Racism has no place in stadiums, or anywhere else. Serie A, it’s time to really act. Every year there is the same problem, but nothing ever changes.”
