Rafael Leao has become the latest to speak out as the fall-out continues following Romelu Lukaku’s red card in the match against Juventus last night.
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.
“Ibra suffered racist chants in the match against Roma after scoring, he cheered and was booked by the referee when before he had been insulted by all the Roma fans, but in the end there was no punishment,” he began.
“Yesterday Lukaku received racist chants and once again, after scoring, he celebrated… and who was penalised? The player… Unfortunately this act continue to tarnish the sport we love so much. Racism out.”
