Watch: Maignan subjected to racist abuse even after players walked off

A shocking video has shown that the racial abuse directed at Mike Maignan continued after the players had left the field and when Udinese equalised on Saturday night.

A clip circulated by Marca (as seen below) clearly shows a Udinese fan filming Maignan after Samardzic made it 1-1 and he repeatedly shouted ‘ne**o di merda’ which would translate to ‘fu**ing ni**er’.

According to what was reported by Carlos Passerini of Il Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), there is a first person under investigation for the racist chants against Maignan which a video helped identify.

The 300 cameras of the BluEnergy Arena in Udine and the collaboration of the Friulian club are decisive in this first result of the investigations.
