Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out after Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was allegedly subjected to racist chants during his side’s Boxing Day defeat at Inter Milan
Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the game that they tried to get the game suspended three times because of offensive chants.
And Ronaldo offered support to Koulibaly with a social media post accompanied with a snap of himself with the defender.
“I always want education and respect in life and football,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram. “No to racism or any other type of offence and discrimination!!!”
Mayor of Milan Beppe Sala, who supports Inter, also condemned the abuse as he issued a public apology to Koulibaly via a Facebook post.
“I went to the stadium yesterday, following that passion which was passed on to me by my father,” Sala wrote on Facebook. “I celebrated Inter’s win but I came home crestfallen.
“Those ‘boos’ to Koulibaly were disgraceful. It was a disgraceful act aimed at a serious sportsman like him, who shows pride in the colour of his skin.
“Inter will do what they feel is the right thing to do, but I would like it if they gave the captain’s armband to [Kwadwo] Asamoah for the Empoli game.
“In the meantime, I would like to apologise to Kalidou Koulibaly in my own name and in the name of the decent city of Milan.”
