Romelu Lukaku has made an eloquent plea for players, clubs and federations as well as social media platforms to unite and take a stand against the scourge of racist abuse in the game.
Inter Milan’s new recruit from Manchester United was responding after being the target of monkey chants on Sunday.
“Many players in the last month have suffered from racial abuse, I did yesterday,” the Belgian international wrote on Instagram on Monday.“Football is a game to be enjoyed by everyone and we shouldn’t accept any form of discrimination that will put our game in shame.” Racist chanting has dogged Italian stadia in recent years, with Italy striker Moise Kean also the victim of similar abuse — alongside teammate Blaise Matuidi — at Cagliari after he scored a goal there for his former team Juventus last April.
