Ismael Bennacer and Rafael Leao have rallied around Theo Hernandez after he was the target of some vile abuse from Napoli fans.
So as not to give the culprits any more exposure than they are wrongly getting for what they said we will refrain from repeating what they commented on a picture that Theo uploaded on Instagram.
However, it was so bad that Leao, Bennacer and even other Italian clubs have taken to social media to voice their support for the full-back.
Leao wrote on Twitter: “Unfortunately social networks are an instrument where everyone thinks they can say whatever they like. Don’t worry, brother, God is always with your family.”
Infelizmente as redes sociais são um instrumento onde toda gente pensa que pode dizer o que quiser .. triste são essas pessoas que aproveitam o facto disso para tentar mexer com o nosso psicológico . No passa nada irmão Deus é com a tua família sempre 🙏🏾@TheoHernandez ❤️🖤

Serie C club Pescara also tweeted their support, while there have been a wide range of comments from other Napoli fans calling out the behaviour. Bennacer, meanwhile, simply put: “Always with you.”
Sempre con te ❤️🖤 @TheoHernandez pic.twitter.com/qCM2c92tAU

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-final clash takes place tomorrow at the Maradona in front of what is expected to be a fired up and hostile home crowd.
Once a ‘meridionale’, always a ‘meridionale’… Typical.
But anyway, FORZA THEO!
Napoli fans will regret doing that to Theo because he will come out stronger than leg 1.
Agree 100% and gorda milan
I’m wondering where does the hate for the south come from… Hmmm anyone?
I wonder which one came first? No excuses, but just saying.
well thats very complicated but i guess it starts with the mafia and political corruption. That leads to lack of progress in any field, very high unemployment, lack of education, because why go to school if there is no work, lack of edcuation leads to people acting like monkeys. nobody likes stupid peope who act like monkeys. And they are jelly that north italy is rich so they act out
Instagram have to block, inactivate, remove the fans’ account.
LET GO FOR REVENGE MR THE019
Imagine if Theo scores tomorrow at Maradona 😧. I can see the celebration and how the curva Sud reaction will be.
I want to hear them cry about “unfair referees” as they always do.
Haha! They do it because they are scared of us. Cowards!
I hope Theo will score a brace in their own den in front of those losers. And another brace from Leao and others. Just do it, guys. And Mike will wipe the grass with Osimhen, Kvara, or whoever they consider their top player.
Bad move Crapoli fans – you just wound Theo up even more.
