On the morning of this Wednesday, 05, the striker lukaku opened his heart and lamented yet another case of racism against him. During the match of Inter Milan Against the Juventusthe Belgian was called “shit monkey” by some fans. After hearing the insults, the star scored the net and asked the racists present in the stadium to be silent.
Through social networks, Lukaku commented on the episode and asked for punishment to fans who committed racism against him. When recalling another case experienced in 2019, the striker was very upset at having to live in the same situation again. By sharing the message, he received support from Mbappe, vini jr and other players.
History repeats itself. I went through this in 2019… and 2023 again… I hope this time the league takes serious action because this beautiful game should be enjoyed by all… Thanks for the messages of support. Fuck racism“, Lukaku wrote on his social networks.
In addition to Lukaku, the coach of Inter Milan also spoke about the case of racism. At a press conference, Simone Inzaghi regretted what had happened. “We hear, clearly. I go beyond that. I see a player who scores, celebrates, and everything happened from there. There are the images, we hope they remove Lukaku’s card as it already happened with Lookman’, he started.
“The celebration was completely misunderstood. Now I can only think that I lost Lukaku and Handanovic, who are very important to us.“, finished the coach. It is worth explaining that Lukaku ended up being expelled after asking the Juventus fans to silence. For having a yellow card, he took the second and took the red.
It is worth noting that Lukaku’s gesture was precisely to silence the racist offenses he had been receiving. However, the referee did not show sensitivity and ended up applying the second yellow card to the attacker. Inter Milan must file an appeal to annul the expulsion and be able to count on the Belgian in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal.
