Romelu Lukaku: Inter Milan striker racially abused at Juventus

Romelu Lukaku Bolingoli is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Inter Milan, on loan from Premier League club Chelsea, and the Belgium national team. 

The former Manchester United and Everton star scored a stoppage-time penalty to cancel out Juventus winger, Juan Cuadrado’s opener just a few minutes earlier as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

After scoring his penalty, Lukaku put a finger to his lips to silence the home crowd fans chanting ‘f***ing monkey’ and ‘f*** off’ at Lukaku, who was shown a second yellow card and then sent off for shushing them during his celebrations.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Lukaku wrote: ‘History repeats. Been through it in 2019… and 2023 again

‘I hope the league really take actions for real this time because this beautiful game should be enjoyed by everyone.

‘Thank you for the supportive messages. F**k racism.’
