NAN reports that some had blamed the goal celebration by the 19-year-old who suffered alleged racist attack in Tuesday’s Serie A match at Cagliari.

Meanwhile, European football’s anti-discrimination watchdog FARE described racism in football as the “Italian epidemic” and said there had been an alarming rise in incidents.

Kean, who had been jeered throughout the game, turned in Rodrigo Bentancur’s cross with five minutes left to complete a 2-0 win for runaway Serie A leaders, Juve.

He then stood in front of the Cagliari fans behind the goal and opened his arms.

In response, Cagliari’s supporters made the noise which is described in Italy as “buu” and is regarded as a racist insult.

Although, some fans have argued it is a noise made simply to annoy opposing players, regardless of race.

Kean later posted a picture of the celebration with the message: “The best way to respond to racism” while his teammate, France midfielder Blaise Matuidi, posted the same picture with the message: “Black and White. #notoracism.”

There was no official comment on Wednesday from either club.

Serie A’s disciplinary committee is likely to deal with the incidents on Friday, once the entire match day has been completed.

Immediately after the game, Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci said that Kean was partly to blame for the incidents, for not celebrating with his team mates.

Cagliari president, Tommaso Giulini denied the crowd had been racist.

He said he heard “mostly boos” and that the Cagliari fans would have reacted the same way if “any other player” had performed a similar celebration.

Under the heading “Italian epidemic”, FARE published a statement on Twitter which read: “Our message to Italian football on the alarming rise in racist incidents is simple. Enough is enough.”

Former FC Barcelona and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure said it was unbelievable that such incidents could happen in 2019.

“The teammate… saying to the player you should not have done that. It’s a disgrace. People need to take this seriously. I was shocked when I saw it,” the Ivorian told the Equal Game conference in London.

England forward Raheem Sterling, targeted during a 5-1 Euro 2020 qualifying win in Montenegro last week, posted Bonucci’s comment on Instagram and said: “All you can do now is laugh.”

In December, Inter Milan were ordered to play two home games behind closed doors after Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was racially insulted during a game at San Siro.

In 2017, Ghanaian player Sulley Muntari was booked and sent off after complaining about racist abuse while playing for Pescara, also at Cagliari.

Matuidi also complained that he suffered racist abuse in another game at Cagliari last season.

The Sardinian club later apologised.
