The Juventus striker was subjected to racist chants from Cagliari fans on Tuesday night.
A soccer player who suffered 90 minutes of racist abuse has been blamed by a teammate for his role in the incident.
Cagliari captain Luca Ceppittelli was among the players who rushed Kean away to safety and pleaded with the home fans to stop the racist chanting, but he appeared to be hit by a missile thrown from the crowd. “Kean knows himself too that he could have done something else,” Bonucci, who scored Juventus’ first goal, told Sky Sport Italia.
Matuidi was also subject to abuse and shortly after Kean's goal he appeared to threaten to walk off the field. The Frenchman, who last season claimed he was victim of racial abuse at the same stadium, then took to Facebook to express his contempt for the fans who targeted him and Kean because of their skin color.“Weak people try to intimidate with hate. I am not a hater and can only be sorry for those who set bad examples.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri suggested it was time for the authorities to clamp down harder on the perpetrators.
