Honey Honey Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Quote Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi says he was the subject of racial abuse during his side's 1-0 win at Cagliari in Serie A on Saturday. His claim comes two days after Verona received a suspended partial stadium ban and fine for a section of their fans racially abusing the 30-year-old. The France midfielder said "weak people try to intimidate with hate". "I am not a hater and can only be sorry for those who set bad examples," Matuidi said on his Facebook page. He added: "Today I experienced racism during the match. "Football is a way to spread equality, passion and inspiration and this is what I am here for. Peace." Federico Bernardeschi scored the only goal of the game 16 minutes from time as Juventus recorded a sixth win in seven games to head into the two-week winter break one point behind leaders Napoli. The incident at Verona took place on 30 December, when Matuidi scored the opening goal in a 3-1 win. The Serie A club were punished for "the expression of racial discrimination, lasting about 10 seconds" towards Matuidi by a section of the home supporters in the fifth minute https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42595501 Anyone know any details?
